00:00Bill Maher shocked as Lara Trump defends Donald Trump calling reporter Piggy,

00:05I saw it on tape.

00:07Talk show host Bill Maher was left stunned as Lara Trump defended President Donald Trump

00:12after calling a reporter Piggy earlier this month.

00:16Do we know that happened?

00:17Lara, 43, jokingly asked Bill, 69, about the exchange during the Monday, November 24th

00:25episode of the Club Random podcast.

00:27I saw it on tape, the talk show host firmly stated.

00:31Lara tried to laugh off the moment, asking the host if he was sure Donald, 79, didn't

00:36say, McGee.

00:38Donald Trump is an equal opportunity offender, she replied.

00:41I know this will be a crazy thing to say, but Donald Trump is not perfect.

00:46He's not perfect, but he does a lot of things that I think are great.

00:49And I think that overall, you gotta take some of the good with the bad.

00:52Trump made headlines on November 14th after referring to a Bloomberg News correspondent

00:58as Piggy during a verbal altercation aboard Air Force One.

01:02During a press gaggle on the way to Mar-a-Lago, reporter Catherine Lucey asked about leaked

01:07Jeffrey Epstein emails.

01:09And he snapped at her, pointing and saying, quiet, quiet, Piggy.

01:13The insult went viral, prompting widespread reactions, including from Donald's niece,

01:19Mary Trump, who called his actions despicable.

01:23Donald is a lifelong hardcore misogynist, so he doesn't really like it when women ask him

01:28difficult questions, she said in a video posted to her ex-account on Tuesday, November 18th.

01:35Now, obviously that was wildly inappropriate and despicable, but it's also par for the course.

01:40Mary said in her video that the only pig in the situation is Donald,

01:45but added that actual pigs are intelligent and affectionate creatures.

01:49While in her view, Donald is a vile and corrupt criminal who contributes nothing of value.

01:55Donald previously used the insult, Piggy, to describe former Miss Universe Alicia Machado

02:00after she gained weight in 1996.

02:03When you win a beauty pageant, he told people that year,

02:06people don't think you're going to go from 118 to 160 in less than a year.

02:11And you really have an obligation to stay in a perfect physical state.
