Comedian and podcast host Bill Maher said his dinner at the White House will be similar to former President Richard Nixon‘s visit to China.

“I don’t have some sort of complex where I think I can heal America. I can’t,” Maher told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on The Chris Cuomo Project. “But, if two guys who’ve been at each other for so long … I mean, it’s kind of a Nixon-to-China thing.”
