"Real Time" host Bill Maher on Friday defended maverick U.S. Sens. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for not backing the Democrats' multitrillion-dollar spending spree.

Maher kicked off the show's panel discussion by tackling the in-party fighting among Democrat lawmakers over the $1.5 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $3.5 spending bill being championed by the progressive wing, noting how the far left members of the party were "very mad" at Sinema and Manchin for not backing it.

"They're mad at them because they're not progressive enough -- forgetting that they only got elected because they're not progressives! They're moderates," Maher said.

"Here's my question: Does spending more money make you a better person? Or a bigger moderate?" Maher asked. "And maybe these two, Sinema and Manchin might have their thumb more on the pulse on the average Democrat in the country."

That the mainstream Republican party has veered sharply to the right over the past couple decades does not mean that center-right Democrats like Maher aren't right wing.

Polls have been done on this; the average person, much less the average Democrat, supports the proposals of the $3.5 trillion bill.
