The comedian and host claimed liberal-leaning people had become “so tolerant that we tolerate intolerance,” during a recent episode of his Club Random podcast with the Two and a Half Men star. Cryer recently made headlines after sharing his pessimism for the incoming Trump administration, branding it a “clown show already.”.
Maher and Cryer began to disagree early on in the episode after discussing the effect of immigration issues on the Democratic Party and its contribution to the loss to Donald Trump and the GOP. The pair then went on to discuss other examples of declining “Western standards” with Maher referencing a 60 Minutes report where a woman in a skirt was "screamed at" after walking through a Muslim neighborhood in London.
"We should agree that women should be able to wear what they want," Maher said. "If you don’t agree with that, you’re not a liberal to begin with…. Call me a crazy liberal but I think women should have freedom.”. Cryer agreed that women should be able to wear what they want but pointed out that there were many places around the world where women didn’t have the freedom to dress how they liked. "In many places, they used to get catcalled all the time," he said.
