From the Daily Caller: Comedian Bill Maher told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo during a Friday podcast that he is attending a private dinner with President Donald Trump due to it being pitched to him as potentially helping to “heal America.”
Musician and Trump ally Kid Rock said he brokered the White House dinner for Maher, who is a prominent critic of the president, in an effort to “unite this country.” Maher, on “The Chris Cuomo Project,” acknowledged he does not believe he has the power to “heal America,” but said it was worthwhile endeavor.
“I’m doing it because, first of all, it was presented as … maybe this is a beginning to heal America. Now, I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America,” Maher told Cuomo. “I can’t. Okay, let’s get that clear — I’m not going to be healing America. But if two guys who’ve been at each other for so long — I mean, it’s kind of a [former President Richard] Nixon-to-China thing.”
“I have the credentials. There was nobody who was harder on Trump or more prescient about the fact that he wasn’t going to leave office voluntarily than I was,” he continued. “I feel like I have the credentials. But they also respect me because I’m honest about the woke train to Crazy Town, and I don’t shrink from that.”
“I’ve also lost a lot of fans for that. The woke people have left the building, and I’m willing to make that sacrifice,” Maher said.
Maher emphasized that it was “an honor” to be invited to the White House, saying, “I’m impressed by it. A lot. I’m impressed the fuck out of it. I get to go to the White House. And yes, that is the structure of this dinner — it’s just, ‘Let’s talk. Let’s talk to each other face to face. Let’s stop shouting from 3,000 miles away,’ you know?”
He added that he knew no one expects him to be leaving wearing a MAGA hat, but said, “And I think it’s going to be — you know, look, it probably will accomplish very little, but you gotta try, man. You gotta try.”
