Bill Maher was not a fan of Larry David’s satirical satirical test “My Dinner With Adolf” in the New York Times. In a new interview with Piers Morgan, Maher criticized the actor’s test, who, according to him, compared his recent meeting with Trump to a meeting with Hitler, calling the burning to take “Insultant at six million dead Jews”.
“To use the Hitler thing – first of all, it’s a bit insulting for six million dead Jews,” Maher told Morgan on his 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 its place.”
Maher added: “He’s the goat of evil. We are just going to have to leave him like that.”
In his New York Times Essay, David spoke of a false meeting with Hitler saying that it “seemed so human” and an “completely different animal” of what we know of him. “‘I must say, me Führer, I am so grateful. Although we are disagreeing on many questions, that does not mean that we must hate ourselves”, imagined David himself saying to Hitler.” And with that, I gave him a Nazi salute and I went out in the night. ”
At the time, a New York Times The publisher said that the play “did not assimilate Trump to Hitler”, but more on “see people for whom they are really”. Addressing Morgan, Maher said that the test was not “my favorite moment of our friendship”.
“At the minute you play the” Hitler “card, you lost the argument,” said Maher. “Hitler, Nazis – nobody was more difficult and more premonitory, I must say, about Donald Trump than me. I don’t need to give lessons on who is Donald Trump. The fact that I met him in person has not changed this. The fact that I pointed out honestly is not a sin either.”
Maher joked by saying that he and David “could be friends again” and that he can “take him when people disagree with me”.
“This is not exactly the way I would have done it,” he said. “Again, irony: let’s go back to my original thing. There must be a better way than to launch insults and not to talk to people. If I can talk to Trump, I can also talk to Larry David.”
Maher revealed last week that he had met Trump, a man he has been criticized for a long time, during an episode of his late evening show, Real time. “Everything I never liked about him was – I swear to God – absent, at least that night with this guy,” said Maher about his Trump meeting.
