John Oliver Skewers Trump, Fox News, And The GOP In Blistering Kavanaugh Rant đŸ”„
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.

Sean Hannity Roasted After Claiming His Friends In NYC Are 'Scared' After Mamdani's Win

An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

AOC Has Democrats Applauding With Her Viral Reaction To Zohran Mamdani's Historic Win

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.

Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
