The Democratic strategist accused Maher of lending ālegitimacy and credenceā to Trumpās behavior
Political strategist James Carville has branded Bill Maher āsupremely naiveā after the comedian dined with President Donald Trump and praised him as an āeffective politician.ā
Carville, who helped get Bill Clinton elected to the presidency, hit out at Maher and accused him of giving Trump ālegitimacy.ā
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 āgracious and measuredā despite railing against him regularly on TV.
Nah, a couple years ago he had a big section of one of his Netflix specials just bashing trans folks with unfunny jokes.
Just looked it up, the special in question is āThe Closerā and yeah just look at this mess -
So in the space of about 10 minutes we have transphobia, complaints of cancel culture, support of TERFs, support of JK Rowling, and a self admission that he ādoesnāt know what the fuck that isā but runs his mouth about it anyway.
When he (rightfully) got called out about this, the only thing he talked about for the next year afterward was how jazzed he was to be getting ācanceledā, as Netflix continued to bankroll more specials for him and suspended/fired trans employees who had complaints about this.
Dave Chappelle is a clown and not the good funny kind.
