Bill Maher criticized Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, accusing the billionaire of "playing cities against each other" in the effort to become the new headquarters of the company.

"This is a chance for Amazon to show the world that a technology company can really do good," he added.

The comedian also said that if the Liberals seriously considered winning elections, "they must begin to recolonize the regions of the country they have abandoned. Mississippi is the poorest state in the country.
