Bill Maher Responds to Larry David’s NY Times Story Ridiculing His Trump Dinner: ‘Insulting to 6 Million Dead Jews’

Bill Maher has responded to Larry David’s criticism of his recent meeting with President Trump at the White House, with the “Real Time” host saying the comedian’s New York Times op-ed was “kind of insulting to 6 million dead Jews.”

Maher’s comment was shared by Piers Morgan on Thursday on X, in a teaser clip for an upcoming conversation on his YouTube show, “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”

His response comes a few days after David, without naming the comedian specifically, skewered Maher in a guest post titled “My Dinner With Adolf,” which effectively compared Maher’s visit with the president to someone meeting with Hitler in 1939.

“I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if it has invaded and annexed other countries and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity,” David wrote in his Monday piece, mocking the tone of Maher’s recap of his meeting with Trump.

In Thursday’s sneak preview, Maher told Morgan he is friends with the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star and did not want to discuss the op-ed too much and seemed to generally not be too worked up about it. Still, he did take exception with comparing meeting the president to meeting with Hitler on the eve of World War II and the Holocaust.

“I must say, you know, come on, man — Hitler, Nazis? Nobody has been harder about — and more prescient, I must say — about Donald Trump than me,” Maher said. “I don’t need to be lectured on who Donald Trump is. Just the fact that I met him in person didn’t change that, and the fact that I reported honestly is not a sin either.”
