John Oliver Skewers Trump, Fox News, And The GOP In Blistering Kavanaugh Rant 🔥

John Oliver Skewers Trump, Fox News, And The GOP In Blistering Kavanaugh Rant 🔥
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

John Oliver hasn't been shy about calling out the GOP members who have been defending Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh even though he has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women. Until recently, he's avoided taking aim specifically at Donald Trump, but Trump tweeted out an attack on one of the accusers, and John Oliver has had enough.



For reference, here is Trump's tweet:

Plenty of people felt the tweet was not just in poor taste, but factually incorrect as many sexual assaults go unreported and Kavanaugh's mother was a prosecutor at the time and would have been in charge of her son's case anyway - so not reporting it makes sense. People are taking this as just another in a long string of strange tweets - including his now infamous tweet about how a hurricane was wet in terms of water.


John, however, isn't so ready to just brush the tweet off.



Oliver pointed out that sources close to Trump have had to actively put effort into keeping him from attacking the women who are accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault. So this tweet, which is already seen as a distasteful attack, was actually Trump holding back?

Oliver says:

So the president cast doubt on someone who said she was sexually assaulted while also sort of implying that her parents don't love her. To borrow a phrase, that's one of the most sh*theaded things I've seen from the standpoint of sh*theadedness.


To which Twitter says:








But we want to know what YOU say. Was Trump's tweet out of line? Let us know your thoughts.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
