James Carville Slams Bill Maher As 'Supremely Naive Man' Over Trump Meeting
HuffPost
Maher dined with the president after years of criticizing him on HBO's "Real Time" — and complained that he didn't get enough credit for it.
James Carville has joined a burgeoning group of Democrats in condemning “Real Time” host Bill Maher over his recent dinner with President Donald Trump. The longtime strategist shared his thoughts Saturday on his “War Room” podcast and didn’t mince words.
“So it’s not a secret he’s a friend of mine, I’ve been on the show many, many times,” said Carville about Maher.
He added, “I think Bill would say, ‘Look, he’s the president, I don’t agree with him, no one’s been more critical of him than I have, but I went and he was very charming.’”
Maher essentially said just that last week on “Real Time,” recalling in a lengthy monologue that Trump was “gracious and measured.”
Since the March 31 dinner, the president has jeopardized U.S. markets with a steep tariffs policy and defied a court order to bring back a man who was mistakenly deported. The White House confirmed earlier this month that Trump is exploring ways to deport American citizens.
