In a recent episode of the 'Politics War Room' podcast, Democratic strategist James Carville criticized HBO host Bill Maher for meeting with President Trump. Carville suggested that Maherâs encounter might lend legitimacy to Trump, countering Maher's claims that he spoke truth to power. Maher reflected on his dinner with Trump, noting the president's graciousness, a sentiment echoed by co-host Al Hunt, who agreed that Maher seemed deceived into finding Trump charming. Maher defended his choice to engage with Trump, asserting he did not compromise his principles despite harsh backlash from liberals.
I think the problem that people have with Bill - I have the same one - is you're kind of leading legitimacy and credence to this.
I never felt I had to walk on eggshells around him. Honestly, I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I'd never feel comfortable talking to them like I could with Trump.
I had the opportunity to go to the White House and talk to the president and not give up my principles. It seems like nobody noticed that.
I think Bill Maher was had. He went there and he talked about how charming Trump was.
