Bill Maher wasn’t pulling any punches when he appeared on The View on Tuesday and the topic turned to U.S. President Joe Biden.

View co-host Joy Behar noted how the late-night host and comic takes aim at both Biden and Donald Trump, and admitted she herself is “nervous” to say anything against the president for fear of influencing voters.

That prompted Maher to bring up the 81-year-old’s age and how, unlike Trump, Biden “presents as old.”

Maher pointed out how the two men are only three-and-a-half years apart in age.

“Biden just presents as old and it’s not really fair because Trump is almost the same age as him,” he said.

“But Trump doesn’t present that way,” Maher continued. “You know, you look at somebody right away you can sum them up.”

He gestured to Behar and himself, “We are not young but we don’t present as old.”

Maher then referenced a recent speech from Biden, calling him “cadaver-like.”

When Behar defended the president, saying his “brain is good” and he is “still great,” Maher begged to differ, saying Biden should get out of office because people have lost faith in him.

Maher then likened Biden to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the former Supreme Court justice who died in the role despite requests to step down, and branded the president as “Ruth Bader Biden.”

It has been suggested that Ginsberg’s refusal to resign during the Obama administration helped pave the way for Trump to eventually replace her on the court with a more conservative judge after her death.

Maher predicted a similar fate for Biden.

“But you know, he is Dracula, he has crossed oceans of time to be here and he is not going to give it up now.”

The age of both candidates has become a flashpoint in the coming election, with both sides attempting to paint the other as unfit to govern.

On Tuesday, Biden and Trump each piled up more delegates and won primaries in Kentucky.

However, even though they secured the nominations and their rivals dropped out, both have faced dissent from within their own parties.
