Bill Maher calls friend Larry Davids essay mocking him for meeting Trump insulting to 6 million dead Jews

Curb your criticism?Bill Maher chastised Larry David after the “Seinfeld” creator invoked Hitler in a New York Times op-ed mocking his friend for dining with Donald Trump last month.Speaking on Thursday’s episode of Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” podcast, the 69-year-old “Real Time with Bill Maher” host said David’s essay — titled “My Dinner With Adolf” — was “kind of insulting to six million dead Jews.”When Morgan, 60, asked whether he and David, 77, are friends, Maher responded, “Oh, yes, of course.I mean, this wasn’t, you know, my favorite moment of our friendship.” The longtime Trump critic then offered his take on David’s essay, published Tuesday. “Look, I don’t want to get in — too much into that, but I think the minute you play the Hitler card.
