Trump attacks Fox News for promoting Bill Maher interview

comedyMay 2, 202641626

Former President Donald Trump blasted comedian Bill Maher on Truth Social, calling Maher a "moron" after Fox News aired Maher's interview with California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump said Maher "choked" the conversation and told Fox News "You look weak, stupid, and ineffective" for promoting the segment. The rebuke signals tension between Trump and Fox News over platforming nonaligned commentators and matters for the network's standing in conservative media ahead of the next election.

Bill Maher plays both sides and is the biggest coward ever

My TV service eliminated CNN from the news bundle, so I won't be seeing anything they broadcast. No big loss. Now if they would get rid of "fox", my bundle would be perfect!

And I say who cares. He's irrelevant and CNN is too

California Gov. Gavin Newsom delivered a stark warning Friday that the Trump administration's weaponization of the Federal Communications Commission is a bigger threat to American democracy than the foreign corruption scandals dominating the headlines.

Gavin Newsom: Every day it's a corruption story, the Trump administration, it's meme coins, it's crypto, it's World Liberty Financial. It's the greatest grift we've ever seen in our lifetime.

Why does Bret Stephens hate George Washington? Without political violence we wouldn’t be celebrating 250 years of the United States of America.

Bret Steven’s talking about liberal views at universities “there is nothing worse than people thinking they are smarter and brighter than they are.” Ironically he is describing Bret Steven’s

They might as well rename the show Reactionary Centrism with Bill Maher.

On Friday night's edition of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, the interview guest was Gov. Gavin Newsom, Democratic governor of California, host of the podcast "This is Gavin Newsom, and author of "Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery."

The panel guests were Bret Stephens, Pulitzer Prize-winner and opinion columnist at The New York Times; and Gillian Tett, provost of King's College, Cambridge and a columnist and editorial board member at Financial Times.

Bill Maher presses Gavin Newsom on California’s high-speed rail delays, rising gas prices, and regulatory bottlenecks in a sharp interview amplified by the New York Post, framing governance challenges around execution gaps, bureaucracy, and policy delivery.
