‘How Dare Anybody Call Trump Hitler!’ Comedian ‘Kill Tony’ Fumes Over Larry David Bit Mocking Bill Maher
Bill Maher spoke to controversial comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on the most recent episode of his Club Random podcast. Maher and Hinchcliffe spoke for nearly two hours and covered everything from Hinchcliffe’s notorious, headline-grabbing joke at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in October to Maher’s recent meeting with Trump.
“Larry David said, ‘I’m a Nazi,’” Maher told Hinchcliffe at one point.
“He did?” Hinchcliffe asked, surprised.
“Well, he said, ‘I had dinner with Hitler,’” Maher clarified, referring to David’s satirical New York Times op-ed ripping Maher for meeting Trump and offering some kind words for the president.
“Yeah, yeah, I mean, and by the way, and I think literally when we say they do it to themselves, how dare anyone call Trump Hitler! That is such an insult to the Jewish people,” Hinchcliffe replied. Hinchcliffe stirred controversy ahead of election day when he made a joke that called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” while appearing at a Trump rally.
“That’s exactly what I said when I did an interview about it, that it’s like, among other things. First of all, as soon as you play the Hitler card, you’ve kind of lost the argument unless you’re really dealing with Hitler, which yes, we’re not. But agreed. Like, it is quite insulting to the ones that Hitler—I mean, Hitler, I keep calling him the GOAT of evil. He’s the GOAT,” Maher added.
“Oh, yeah,” Hinchcliffe agreed.
“You know you can’t. Don’t try to, you know, don’t enter that conversation like ‘who was better than Michael Jordan?’ Okay. It’s Hitler. All right. Hitler’s the Michael Jordan of evil. Yeah. All right? LeBron’s great. It’s different. Six rings. Six million people dead. And you know it’s just like stop it,” Maher concluded.
