Bill Maher has angered supporters of President Donald Trump by making a remark suggesting the president has a sexual relationship with his daughter, Ivanka.
Maher made the remark Friday on his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher.” The comment came days after Stephen Colbert made a crude remark about a homosexual relationship between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Maher was speaking to New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman on Friday when he told the joke that included a lewd hand gesture.
People on social media were quick to express anger.
If anybody but the deranged left made jokes about presidents having sex with their children they would be off air. https://t.co/rGGsk7OXvz

The FCC is investigating complaints against Colbert because his comment was made on CBS, a public broadcasting station.
Maher’s HBO show would not fall under those FCC regulations.
