“Wait, that was cheap. There are some that don’t talk to me, but I haven’t heard a lot of good things, and I’ve heard some great concern about the president’s temperament,” continued Franken.
Maher went on the ask Franken about Time magazine, who "recently came out in favor of impeaching Trump," asking when impeachment proceedings might be brought against Trump.
“Let me remind you again that Republicans are in the majority. So I think it'll be — it's months and months away,” answered Franken, in a tone that was difficult to say whether he was joking or not.
