Along with their repeated playing of the race card during MSNBC’s Hardball, HBO host Bill Maher offered an eyebrow-raising defense on Wednesday for Hillary Clinton and her e-mail scandal by suggesting that she didn’t intend to do anything “nefarious” but rather “needed a private server to get her work done cause Democrats do work.”

Discussing her ideology earlier in the show, Maher assisted Matthews in touting Clinton as “not some far-left person” but rather “a centrist” that could be seen as “far right on some issues like war” that deeply concern the Real Time host.
