In the heated discussion between comic icons Bill Maher and Larry David regarding President Trump, Abrams endorsed Maher's perspective during an appearance on CNN. David's satirical piece, which compared Maher's White House encounter with Trump to having dinner with Hitler, focused on the perception of authenticity. Abrams emphasized the importance of dialogue, suggesting that Maher's willingness to engage with Trump, even as a comedian, adds credibility to his critiques. He argued that invoking Hitler in debates signifies losing the argument and distracts from productive conversation.
I'm still with Bill Maher on this one because I think that if people like Bill Maher can't go and talk to Donald Trump, we are really messed up now.
If you invoke Hitler, you know you've lost the argument. It just takes the entire debate to a new level of absurdity that isn't productive.
