In a surprising turn of events, liberal comedian Bill Maher has announced his upcoming visit to the White House for a dinner with none other than President Trump. This peculiar gathering, orchestrated by Trump supporter and musician Kid Rock, raises eyebrows about the intersection of politics and entertainment.
During a discussion with Chris Cuomo, Maher candidly acknowledged his limitations in uniting a divided nation. However, he believes that his meeting with Trump holds a certain symbolic significance, underlining the necessity of dialogue across ideological divides.
FOX News reports:
After years of critiquing Trump’s policies, Maher is now making headlines by accepting an invitation to dine privately with him at the White House. In an interview with Chris Cuomo, Maher reflected on the motivations behind such a controversial decision.
Cuomo expressed his support for Maher’s choice but probed deeper into what drove him to accept the invitation. Maher, embracing the idea of bipartisanship, remarked, “It’s kind of a Nixon-to-China thing.”
“I was one of Trump’s harshest critics, well aware of his unwillingness to leave office voluntarily. I have the credentials,” he asserted. “But my honesty about the extremes of ‘wokeness’ has cost me fans. The ‘woke’ crowd has exited stage left, but this sacrifice grants me a certain level of credibility.”
Here’s the video of their conversation:
