Bill Maher Wants 'Hero' Status For Breaking Bread With President Trump
HuffPost
The comedian complained he wasn't getting enough credit for speaking "truth to power" during his dinner at the White House last month.
Bill Maher really believes he’s America’s knight in shining armor.
The comedian couldn’t resist stroking his own ego while talking about his much-debated White House visit during Thursday’s episode of TMZ’s “2 Angry Men” podcast.
“I should be a hero for going there and doing those things and saying those things to the president. I’m not the villain here,” declared Maher, who has been milking every last bit of attention he can get from his dinner with President Donald Trump, singer Kid Rock, and UFC chairman Dana White late last month.
Clearly triggered by criticism he got for his cozy recap of the meet-up, the “Real Time” ringleader complained that he wasn’t getting enough credit for coming to the table with the Republican without compromising his strong centrist values.
“I had the opportunity to go to the White House and talk to the president and not give up my principles,” he told hosts Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos, and everyone else listening. “It seems like nobody noticed that. I didn’t go MAGA.”
