The Democratic strategist accused Maher of lending ‘legitimacy and credence’ to Trump’s behavior
Political strategist James Carville has branded Bill Maher “supremely naive” after the comedian dined with President Donald Trump and praised him as an “effective politician.”
Carville, who helped get Bill Clinton elected to the presidency, hit out at Maher and accused him of giving Trump “legitimacy.”
The criticism comes after Maher, a longtime critic of the president, had a private dinner at the White House with Trump at the end of March. He made the surprise admission that, actually, he found Trump “gracious and measured” despite railing against him regularly on TV.
Who cares? Both of them are just money grubbing charlatans.
In this one isolated instance Carville isn’t wrong for once. Which is actually very notable. That said fuck both Maher and Carville
Who actually watches Maher? For me he just sounds like a boring asshole. His show is neither entertaining nor informative. What demographic enjoys watching this guy?
Bill Maher is and always has been an asshole.
Carville and Maher can both fuck off to their hospice care homes already.
Maher isn’t naive. He is knowingly and willing being the living embodiment of the concern troll… the “Now I’m a Leftist, but can we all admit that Ayn Rand is Hella based?” Kinda guy
Is there some way Carville and Maher can mutually annihilate, leaving behind nothing but a whiff of horseshit?
putin found a new talking head you mean, in the “both sides maher”, after most of them are past thier prime or used up by the media, so they need a “maga-lite” grifter.
I watched this Maher thing and I really don’t get why anyone cares at all. He basically said trump wasn’t a giant douche in person like he is on tv and online. And I totally believe that. Does that really surprise anyone? He’s 100% the type of guy that would smile to your face and say your great and then talk mad shit behind your back. Call your mother a whore on truth social and then the second you see him he’d say he regretted it or it’s fake news or he didn’t actually mean it. I mean just look at zelensky, he talked MAAAAAD shit online for like weeks leading up to that and when they finally met he was asked “why did you call president zelensky a dictator?” And Trump’s answer? “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”
So yeah, I totally buy that he’d be mild mannered and even reasonable in private with some people. But once you turn your back or if he has a little army of ass kissers with him he will immediately change his tune. I feel like everyone has met a guy like that.
Pot, kettle, black and such.
Is real time still a thing?
Unfortunately… His show’s poster on HBOMax used to have an “emmy nominated” banner at the bottom, probably to ride on Oliver’s success… Looks like they took it off now, LOL
So Maher is going to suck some butthole. All hail the new king. kiss the ring, suck the anus.
Credit to James.
i typically believe people are way too hard on maher just because he isn’t blindly parroting what the left talks about, but this is a really disappointing move. i don’t think there’s any defending it, if he went out to eat with that vile piece of shit.
Maher probably came dressed looking like he was about to sing “Splish- Splash, I was taking a bath”.
