Bill Maher is scoffing at the far left for slamming him over his visit to the White House ... to paraphrase Mark Anthony, he feels he should not be buried, he should be praised!

00:00I have the opportunity to go to the White House and talk to the president and not give up my
00:07principles. It seems like nobody noticed that. I didn't go MAGA. I had the opportunity to talk
00:15to Donald Trump and say the things to him that maybe he never hears, literally to speak truth
00:22to power. I shouldn't take that opportunity. Again, don't do that. Okay. And then there was
00:28the part about, you know, should I lie about how I found him? Because apparently that didn't please
00:35people. They wanted to hear that he was the same monster that they see in public. And he wasn't.
00:40I'm proud that I was able to go into the White House and say to the president of the United States,
00:45look him in the eye and say, you're scaring people. You know, it doesn't bother you that you're scaring
00:52so many of your own citizens. I'm proud that I confronted him when we talked about the orangutan
00:57thing. And I didn't apologize. I said, yeah, because you were making, I did that because you
01:01were making fun and mocking Obama's birth origins. And I thought that was low. So I should be a hero
01:09for going there and doing those things and saying those things to the president. I'm not the villain
01:14here. I mean, there's two ways you can do the Oval Office the way I did it, honestly, or like
01:21Gretchen Wichmar and hold up a bunch of biners in front of your face. Do I have great hopes that
01:27saying anything to him is going to change anything? No, but you have to try. What, again,
01:35as opposed to what? Not engaging? Just, I mean, for the Democrats, you lost everything. You have no
01:42power. You have nothing. And we're slowly becoming just much more of a monarchy. But you don't want to
01:49talk to the king at all? You don't want to talk to him? That's going to fix anything?
