In a recent interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, comedian and talk show host Bill Maher defended his criticism of the left, saying he believes the left has changed, not him.

"I'm not the one who's changed," Maher said. "The left has changed."

Maher has been a vocal critic of the left in recent years, accusing it of becoming too extreme and too focused on identity politics. He has also said that he believes the left has become too intolerant of dissenting opinions.

In the interview with Zakaria, Maher said he believes the left has become more extreme in its views on race, gender, and other social issues. He said he believes this is due in part to the rise of social media, which has allowed people to connect with others who share their views and has created echo chambers.

"The left has become more extreme because of social media," Maher said. "People are able to connect with others who share their views and they're not exposed to other viewpoints."

Maher also said he believes the left has become too intolerant of dissenting opinions. He said he believes this is due in part to the rise of political correctness, which has made people afraid to express their views for fear of being labeled racist, sexist, or homophobic.

"The left has become too intolerant of dissenting opinions," Maher said. "People are afraid to express their views for fear of being labeled racist, sexist, or homophobic."

Maher's comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people agree with him that the left has become too extreme, while others believe he is simply out of touch with the changing views of society.

It is important to note that Maher's views do not represent the views of all liberals. There are many liberals who do not agree with his criticisms of the left.

However, Maher's comments do reflect a growing sentiment among some liberals that the left has become too extreme. This is a trend that is likely to continue in the years to come.
