Couric made the comments while discussing Donald Trump and MAGA — which was born during the former president’s 2016 campaign — on the latest episode of Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast.
“The socio-economic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment [people] — which are Trump voters — so, I think that is a huge problem that we have to address,” Couric explained to Maher, referring to the MAGA movement that got its name from the ex-president’s campaign slogan.
