Bill Maher challenged actor Sean Penn’s criticism of his meeting with President Trump by pointing to the actor’s past encounters with dictators Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
HBO host Bill Maher accused actor Sean Penn of being a hypocrite this week after the actor slammed the comedian’s meeting with President Donald Trump.
During the latest episode of Maher’s „Club Random“ podcast, the comedian and political commentator called out Penn’s meetings with world dictators when the actor pointed out that he wouldn’t have gone to dinner with Trump like Maher had.
„Really, you meet with f—ing Castro and Hugo Chavez, but not the President of the United States?“ Maher asked.
The disagreement came while the two discussed Maher’s meeting with the president at the White House in April. Maher has maintained that the meeting with Trump was „gracious and measured“ and suggested the president was a different man in private than he appears on camera.
