Comedian Steve Harvey said he ultimately regrets his decision to meet with President Trump, saying he should have listened to his wife's advice not to attend the meeting.
"Here's the crazy thing: I'm supposed to be on a boat for my 60th birthday, so my wife says, 'Steve, just take off [and skip the meeting]. You'll meet with him some other time.' God, I should've listened," Harvey told The Hollywood Reporter.
Harvey, who interviewed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the campaign, met with Trump in January at Trump Tower before his inauguration.
Former President Barack Obama's transition team facilitated Harvey meeting with Trump, according to the comedian.
The two television stars discussed urban communities, and even chatted with Ben Carson, Trump's pick for secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
However, Harvey received intense backlash for meeting with Trump.
"It was so vicious that it really threw me. I was being called names that I've never been called: Uncle Tom. A coon. A sellout. Because I went to see this man?! Which only happened because my business partner got a call from the Obama transition team, who said that the Trump transition team would like to set up a meeting," he said.
Harvey said he and Trump have not been in contact since the meeting.
WHO is Steve Harvey?
The Communazis are sooooo tolerant....
This article seems like it’s more of a knock on the hateful Left than Harvey. It’s too bad the title doesn’t reflect that.
The guy that screwed up the Miss World contest and still got rehired.
And his reaction to the scumbags who are attacking him is that he should not have taken the meeting? I guess that tells you all you need to know about Nazism in modern-day America.
“Look at me...look at meeeee!”
The title and the article are meant as warnings not information.
Back on the plantation, Steve. Now!
The “viscous” attacks are from your progessive hate-filled pals. Mr. Harvey should learn from it, not complain about it. He’s swimming with vermin.
GUTLESS!!!
Seriously. This is a comment on the Saul Alinsky destroy-people-at-all-costs tactics of the Left.
I cannot blame Mr. Harvey for not wanting to take a torrent of abuse.
Harvey has a irrelevant afternoon TV show and I think a game show. I could care less about this Jackass. Lets see Kanye West went to see Trump also and is a friend, so what backlash did Kayne experience? I call BS on all of this.
Yeah thas my thought too
But he still should have kept his mouth shut. . ...these celebrities are such disgusting bastards
Didn’t I read something within the last week that he’s involved in a Trump project of some sort for black education? This article sounds like pure bull$h!+.
Every time I see him smile, I think there is a man with 84 teeth.
F U S H
bitch
Lost his nerve when democrats and antifas threatened to kill him. Article makes it seem like the meeting between he and POTUS was a bad idea.
Coward! He should have told them off. “Oooo... they called me names! I won’t be popular anymore!...waaaaaaaa
In other words Show Business doesn’t like that he made that meeting and he wants to keep his career.
because Hollywood is the sharpest embodiment of intolerance around.
Because they are stalinist hypocrite lovers of Filth
