(July 30, 2016 7:28 a.m.) — Dr. Cornel West joined the “Real Time With Bill Maher” panel Friday night to reflect on the Democratic National Convention that ended the night before. During the panel discussion, Clinton supporter Bill Maher suggested that it’s time for Bernie Sanders supporters to throw in the towel and get behind the newly appointed party nominee.

Guest Alex Wagner claimed that the rowdy anti-Clinton protesters at the DNC were hardly representative of the “vast majority” of Sanders supporters, who “understand the stakes” and are willing to back Clinton.
