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
