New rule: if you are going to satiate me in the New York Times, then I will answer you on Piers Morgan not censored. This is how Bill Maher discussed his response to Larry David’s test “My Dinner With Adolf”, which was published in the New York Times on Monday and satiated Maher’s visit to the White House in March, after which Maher called President Trump as “graceful” and “non -false”.
“First of all, it’s a bit insulting for six million dead Jews,” Maher told Piers Morgan in an interview on the set of Maher’s podcast. “This is an argument that you just lost to start. Look, maybe it’s not completely logical, but Hitler really has to stay in his place. He is the goat of evil. We are just going to have to leave him like that.”
“My dinner with Adolf” from David details a fictitious dinner with Adolf Hitler, in which David is surprised to see the Nazi chief “seemed so human” on an intimate occasion: “The private Hitler was a completely different animal. And curiously, it seemed more authentic, as it was the real Hitler. ”
In a companion article in David’s article, the deputy editor -in -chief of the New York Times opinion, Patrick Healy, wrote: “Larry’s play does not assimilate Trump to Hitler. It’s about seeing people for whom they are really and not to lose sight of. ”
“It was not my favorite moment of our friendship. I think the minute you play the” Hitler “card, you lost the argument,” said Maher about David’s play, because Morgan offered an interjection “that’s what I think”. “Come on, guy. Hitler, Nazis – nobody was more difficult and more premonitory, I must say, about Donald Trump than I do. I don’t need to give conferences on who is Donald Trump. The fact that I have met him in person has not changed this. The fact that I pointed out honestly is not a sin either.”
“I don’t want to make it constantly personal with me and Larry. We could be friends again, ”continued Maher later in the interview. “I can take a chance and I can also take it when people disagree with me. This is not exactly how I would have done it.
Maher detailed his visit to the White House in his April 11 episode in his HBO Talk “Real Time” series. In the monologue, Maher called Trump as “graceful” and “much more aware of oneself than he leaves it”.
“Everything I never liked about him was – I swear to God – absent, at least that night with this guy,” said Maher at the time.
