Liberal TV host Bill Maher recently revealed that he is going to visit the White House for a dinner where he will meet President Trump. The event was apparently set up by Kid Rock who is a Trump supporter and a friend of Bill Maher.
In a conversation with Chris Cuomo, Maher said that he has no illusions that he is capable of uniting the country but thinks his meeting with Trump will have some potentially symbolic meaning.
He emphasizes the idea of being able to talk to people with whom we may disagree.
FOX News reports:
After years of criticizing him and his policies, Maher made headlines when he accepted Trump’s invitation for a private dinner at the White House. The liberal comedian spoke about the meeting in an interview with journalist Chris Cuomo.
Cuomo praised the move, saying he is totally in favor of it, but asked Maher about his motivations for doing it in the first place…
Maher praised the idea of such a meeting nonetheless, arguing, “It’s kind of a Nixon-to-China thing.”
“There was nobody who was harder on Trump or more prescient about the fact that he wasn’t going to leave office voluntarily. I have the credentials,” he said. “But they also respect me because I’m honest about the woke train to crazytown, and I don’t shrink from that, and I’ve also lost a lot of fans for that. The woke people have left the building, and I’m willing to make that sacrifice. But it does give you a certain credibility.”
