Bill Maher torches Sotomayor for botching COVID facts

"Real Time" host Bill Maher returned from his holiday break Friday and took aim at liberals for their responses to and handling of the coronavirus pandemic. 

Along the way, the HBO host commented on U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, NBA player Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Maher kicked off the show's panel discussion by listing all the COVID restrictions the United Kingdom is lifting from mask mandates to vaccine passports, saying "They're getting back to normal, we should follow this."

U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., argued the U.S. has been "gradually transitioning to normal" and touted the Biden administration rollout of the vaccine, but Substack journalist Bari Weiss said she's "done with COVID."
