Bill Maher wasted no time weighing in on Hillary Clinton’s historic speech on Thursday, going live following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. She will aim to strike a stark contrast with Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton has accepted the nomination for President of the United States.

“We are not afraid”.

“Standing here as my mother’s daughter, and my daughter’s mother, I’m so happy this day has come”, Clinton said.

“We will strike their sanctuaries from the air, and support local forces taking them out on the ground”, she said. So let’s be stronger together. Given the turbulence and terrorism across the globe, she said Americans are “looking for steady leadership”. “He’s forgetting every last one of us…we say, we’ll fix it together”.
