Bill Maher is in hot water after posting a picture poking fun at sexual harassment on Twitter.
The HBO host is seen smiling at the camera while pretending to grab a sleeping comedian Bob Saget's chest. The photo is meant to imitate the now-infamous photograph of Al Franken faux groping Leeann Tweeden on a USO Tour flight in 2006.
Tweeden also accused the former senator of forcibly kissing her.

The Twitterverse immediately criticized Maher for mocking the #MeToo movement with the insensitive pic.
"Jokes about sexual misconduct are: easy, not funny, offensive," one user wrote.

"Too soon," someone else posted.
However, many felt the comedian's post was in good fun.

Franken resigned from the Senate on Tuesday.
