Bill Maher may vote Democrat, but that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it. During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night, Maher skewered his own party for failing to secure power on the Supreme Court in the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death. The HBO host insisted that RBG should have retired during the Obama administration, and he ripped Democratic leaders for pinning their Supreme Court hopes on the late justice. “That’s why they’re such a loser party,” said Maher. “I vote for them but they don’t know how to do politics.”

Maher’s RBG rant began on much more polite terms. Early on in the interview, Kimmel commended his guest for pausing his September 18 show to deliver the news of RBG’s death to his audience and guest Jane Fonda live on air. “You guys were exactly right about what was going to happen,” said Kimmel. “With no preparation–”

“Well, it’s not like her death was a shock,” interrupted Maher. “She was 100 and had cancer like a million times. I mean, she was a great justice but she should’ve quit.”
