Bill Maher to Karoline Leavitt: 'I don't give a s—', 'I like the ballroom'
Maher pressed Leavitt on whether Trump would retaliate if Republicans lose ground in the midterms, while she said he would still work across party lines.
- On Friday, former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, discussing the brief tenure of her successor, Katie Zacharia.
- Maher poked fun at Zacharia, whom President Trump ousted last Friday after she lasted just five days as press secretary; Leavitt compared the firing to contestants on The Apprentice.
- Variety correspondent Marlow Stern criticized the interview, accusing Maher of delivering a "litany of compliments" instead of challenging his guest, and noted Maher's recent dinner with Trump as context.
- Leavitt, who left the post in August to join Fox News, told Maher that being press secretary is "a tough job" and one of the "hardest" in Washington.
- Addressing potential political collaboration, Leavitt stated Trump "will work with Democrats to do what's best," citing his partnership with Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on crime and homelessness.
