Larry David had some extremely strong criticism of President Donald Trump’s UFC Freedom 250 fight card — which was staged at the White House earlier this month.
Speaking with Variety at the red carpet premiere of his new HBO show Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, the comedy icon gave a scorching response when asked for his thoughts the UFC event.
“It was a travesty,” David said. “What else can you say about it? It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed to be an American.”
David wrote a terrible op-ed in The New York Times, where he criticized comedian and HBO host Bill Maher for having dinner with Donald Trump, including a Hitler comparison in the piece. In an older clip, Maher had previously said he invited David to be on his show, but he always claimed he didn’t have the intelligence to be a guest. Well, he proved him right.

"Every year, I used to ask Larry David to do 'Real Time' — and he'd always say, 'Bill, I can't. I'm not smart enough about politics to do your show.'"
"Yeah, I get that now."

Alan Dershowitz also cooked David, calling him a mean, intolerant man.
