<p>Liberal comedian Bill Maher said this week that he has accepted an invitation from President Donald Trump to have a private dinner at the White House because he believes it could help heal political divisions in the country.</p>
<p>Maher made the remarks during an interview with NewsNation host Chris Cuomo when asked about the response he has gotten since accepting the invite.</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe this is a beginning to heal America,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;Now, I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. 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 Nixon to China thing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have the credentials,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;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. 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. And 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, but it does give you a certain credibility.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that regardless of who the president is, it&#8217;s &#8220;an honor to be invited to the White House.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I’ve already had a couple of people who I said to them, you know, I’m just gonna take it as a backhanded compliment that you glide right past the idea that little Bill Maher from River Vale, New Jersey, just a humble kid from the suburbs was invited for a private dinner at the White House,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You glide right past that to how dare you talk to him and that you’re not impressed by it at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m impressed by it a lot,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I’m impressed the f*** out of it. I get to go to the White House and, yes, that is the structure of this dinner is just, let’s talk. Let’s talk to each other face to face. Let’s not stop shouting from 3,000 miles away, you know? So if they expect me to be leaving in a MAGA hat, they’re gonna be very disappointed, but I know they don’t. And I think it’s gonna be, you know, look, it probably will accomplish very little, but you gotta try, man. You gotta try.&#8221;</p>
