Talk show host Bill Maher sarcastically congratulated former President Donald Trump for “purging” the Republicans who voted to impeach him.
“Say what you want about Mr. Evil, but boy, what a politician. I mean, that’s impressive — in an evil way, but still, impressive,” Maher said during his Friday show. The host went on to predict that more Republicans will lose their elections.
“There are 10 members of Congress who voted to impeach him and he vowed to knock them off — it’s so Tarantino movie, he’s going to get all 10! He got eight out of 10,” the commentator said.

So far, 8 out of the 10 Republicans in the House who voted to impeach Trump will not return to Congress next year. Four of the eight lost a primary — including Liz Cheney, while four opted to retire.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), Cheney, Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI), and Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) have all been defeated. Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), Rep. John Katko (R-NY), Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), and Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) retired. Meanwhile, the only two survivors are Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA).
Maher also went on to compliment the former president’s endorsement power, noting all the members of Congress who have won races following Trump’s endorsement.

“Eighty-five percent of the people Trump endorsed won: 151 out of 178,” Maher said.
The talk show host has long criticized Trump throughout his show, oftentimes mocking the former president with an impersonation.
