Bill Maher jokes that if the race remains close someone is going to have to go out there…why do you think they let Hinkley out?

Bill Maher, performing stand-up on September 10th 2016 at DAR Constitution Hall, made a joke about Trump getting assassinated: ā€œIā€™m nervous. And I saw the headline today ā€“ race tightening. Trump ahead in Ohio and Florida. If this race is even the week before the election, somebody is going to have to go out there [pause, nervous laughter]. [Why] do you think they let Hinckley out?ā€
