Maher made it clear that of course the Texas teen deserves an apology for being arrested over a clock, but said there’s nothing wrong with being a little suspicious when there’s a young Muslim student with something that “looks exactly like a fucking bomb” and there are young Muslims “blowing shit up” all over the world.

Mark Cuban also said he had some doubts, based on a phone conversation he had with Mohamed––claiming his sister was feeding him answers––and saying he heard secondhand that he brought the clock to a few different classes and it wasn’t a problem for plenty of teachers.

Jorge Ramos and Chris Matthews pushed back a bit, with Ramos objecting to the profiling and Matthews dropping an f-bomb, but Maher said that considering this town is near where terrorists targeted that Draw Mohammed cartoon contest, he didn’t blame them for erring on the side of caution.
