Mediaite - Bill Maher Scolds Al Gore For Comparing Trump To Nazis — After Furor Over Maher-Trump Dinner

Comic and political pundit Bill Maher scolded former Vice President Al Gore for comparing President Donald Trump to Nazis — just days after he lashed out at comedian Larry David for comparing Trump to Hitler.

David cut deeply at Maher with a satirical op-ed mocking the Real Time host’s account of a White House visit by equating it to a humanizing dinner with Hitler. Entitled, “My Dinner With Adolf,” David’s piece mimicked Maher’s post-Trump explications.

Gore, meanwhile, drew attention this week when he told the San Francisco Climate Week conference that the “scale and scope of the ongoing attacks on liberty are literally unprecedented,” and went on to draw parallels to the Nazis by quoting philosopher Theodor Adorno.

On Friday night’s edition of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Al Gore, former vice president under Bill Clinton, environmentalist, and co-founder of The Climate Reality Project

1. Is this the line to tell Bill Maher the hell off?

[brush]

29. I think so. Seems like he's gone over to the dark side.

No one but a white supremacist Nazi would allow a Nazi-saluting asshole like elon musk to remain in his admin...not to mention the rest of his clown car cabinet.

2. Not funny Comic and political pundit, and Larry David's outhouse, Bill Maher

Larry David put Maher where he belongs, under the hole in the outhouse, why do we need to go down there to see or hear about him?

[Celerity]

3. Maher can fuck off all the way

[newdeal2]

4. Bill is more worried about the feelings of Trump and MAGA

Than he is about the people they are hurting.

[Carlitos Brigante]

5. So, "Mr. Cancel Culture" is now trying to "police comedy" and tell

L.D. what he can or can't joke about? Someone should really introduce this guy, Bill Maher, to Bill Maher.

[eppur_se_muova]

6. How does he feel about being compared to Neville Chamberlain ? Or Philippe Petain ? Or Vidkun Quisling ? nt

[Johonny]

7. Bill Maher says concentration camp

Is great, and he loves the view. Doesn't understand why everyone else complains.

[Scrivener7]

8. The best way to get rid of him is

to stop watching him and stop talking about him.

[Emile]

9. Bingo, that goes for Trump too.

[Carlitos Brigante]

10. And whatever you do, don't say his name 3 times. Or he'll appear and

condescend you to death.

[milestogo]

11. Fuck you Bill Maher

You aren't fit to shine Al Gore's shoes.

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. He attacked Gore in 2000

and supported Nader.

[Xavier Breath]

14. As always, fuck that misogynistic, transphobic, punching-down piece of shit Bill Maher.

[Firestorm49]

15. Bill Mather has an overinflated opinion of himself and his commentary. I've never bought into his gab.

[bluesbassman]

16. Bill "Vichy" Maher has passed his expiration date.

And like the bad milk that he resembles, should just be flushed and forgotten. Kinda like his predecessor Dennis Miller.

[Paladin]

17. I hope Maher has done serious, lasting damage to what remains of his career.

The sooner he's nothing more than an unpleasant memory, the happier I'll be.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

27. Maher and the Morning Joe crew need to go away

Kissing trump's ring (or another part of his body) is not a good career move

[RoeVWade]

18. Bill Maher had no problem criticizing liberal responses he didn't like. Now, he's all butt hurt and wants to tell us how

to feel. Dude, move on. You lost, Take your own advice.

[surfered]

19. Maher has one similarity with Trump.

Everything is all about him. As Gore said several times, he did not call them Nazis. He listed parallels with Trump Administration and Nazi policies as noted by a German philosopher.

We quit watching Real Time as Maher has entered his Lenny Bruce period with his anti-woke shtick, but we watched this one episode because Gore and Schiff were guests.

[SocialDemocrat61]

21. He's a Trump fluffing, anti-vax,

bigoted, sexist, rich, white, male TV celebrity who loves to parrot right wing talking points and spends more time objecting to “woke” than the shredding of the constitution.

[Abolishinist]

22. I know he's a white male worth $300 million, has had issues in the past with solar panels at his home

and has defended fRump's tariffs on them, commands a speaking fee of $200,000, and has been accused more than once of sexual impropriety, but I wasn't aware he's also anti-vax!

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. So glad I could enlighten you

You’re welcome!

[Abolishinist]

24. It didn't sound right, so I looked it up.

His worries extend to Trump’s Cabinet picks. Al Gore is “deeply concerned” about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, especially about his opposition to vaccines.

[SocialDemocrat61]

31. Yes Al Gore is a very good man

That can be seen even more clearly when he appears next an amoral slimeball who tries to lecture him.

[Quiet Em]

25. Maher's timing is pretty poor

considering a Judge was arrested yesterday.

The con is behaving like a fascist and the fact that Maher can't see that is a poor look for him.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. Who gives a shit about what Maher thinks about anything?

Maher ceased to be fun a very long time ago and now Maher is a tool of the trump administration. I

[spanone]

28. I'd say this to Bill...

[struggle4progress]

30. Maher ... Maher ... Is he the guy from that place who did that thing nobody can remember?

[Kid Berwyn]

32. Masher's stupid.

Just going by who traitor drumpf hates and what he’s done, any dumbkopf can see Trump is a NAZI.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. Maher is not as bright as he thinks he is and was played by trump

An Apprentice producer weighs in on Maher getting used by Trump: “I assure you Trump is laughing and telling everyone around him how easy it was to manipulate Bill… Trump’s superpower is telling whoever he’s with what they want to hear…”
