Steve Harvey defends meeting with Trump

Source: The Hill



Steve Harvey is defending his face-to-face with President-elect Donald Trump, saying, “Change can only happen when we sit at the table.”

“If we sit at the table, then we can have a say as to what’s to be eaten on the menu,” the TV host said Monday on his radio show while deflecting criticism of his meeting with Trump. “I have an obligation to take a seat at the table when invited.”

The comedian and face of “The Steve Harvey Show” and "Family Feud" touched down at Trump Tower on Friday for a one-on-one that he said came at the president-elect’s request. In comments to reporters immediately following the meeting, Harvey said he discussed urban development with a “really sincere” Trump.

Harvey — who had been critical of Trump during the 2016 White House race — called it “important” to meet with the real estate mogul because “the only way we can heal the divide in this country is through conversation.”

You got time for that? Seems there should be more for him to do than pal around with celebrities.
