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.
I was thinking of something clever and this is just better. Bravo. Bill Maher is such an idiot
I recently heard somebody say that Joe Rogan wishes he was Bill Maher. Do we have a wannabe chain started here?
Lol. Rogan has like ten times the number of viewers as Maher, if not more than that. Itās the other way around. Maher is a loser who only appeals to a rapidly shrinking audience.
Joe wishes he was Carlin or Dave Chappelle or Mike Tyson
i would probably exclude dave now, because hes transphobic.
Joe is too though, right?
Have you yourself heard or seen Dave Chappelle say or do something transphobic? AFAIR Dave Chappelle pissed off one trans person, and got labeled as transphobic. He may not be an active trans allied, but IIRC he actually has trans people in his friends groups who havenāt disavowed him.
Donāt get me wrong, if someoneās actually transphobic, they should totally get called out for it. But if the term is to keep its meaning, we shouldnāt throw it around.
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.
