FROM DAILY MAIL: Comedian Bill Maher sent his liberal audience into stunned silence after a surprise joke about the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The remark about Cheney, who died at the age of 84 earlier this week, came during a joke about Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayor’s race.
Maher was talking about Republican candidate and Guardian Angels’ founder Curtis Sliwa, whose campaign the left-leaning comic quipped ‘was dogged by accusations of: we thought you were dead.’

‘Speaking of we didn’t know you were dead, Dick Cheney died.’
