John Oliver blasts JD Vance in vice president debate

John Oliver says people who praised last week’s vice presidential debate for its “politeness” are missing the point.

“The debate included discussions about how to carry out mass deportations and whether women should have control over their own bodies,” the said Last week tonight the host said during the opening segment on Sunday. “Etiquette is kind of irrelevant. It’s like reading a ransom note and saying, “That cursive is just so beautiful.” Look at the capital Y in “You have 24 hours before he dies.” There are still some people who were raised right.’”

By the way, the debate – between Donald Trump’s Republican Vice President JD Vance and Kamala Harris’ Democratic candidate Tim Walz – took place at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York, where is also located Last week tonight. “In fact, this studio served as a post-debate spin room, meaning you are all breathing in the same air particles that were once inside Don [Trump] Nose and Mouth by Jr. So if anyone in this audience wakes up tomorrow feeling like you have a sore throat and are a total disappointment to your dad, that’s probably why,” Oliver joked.

Oliver showed clips from various commentators noting that the candidates were “polite” and “polite” and that “the country has said it wants more of that.”

Oliver responded: “On the list of things America says it wants more of, civility is sixth at best, after affordable health care, gun control, more affordable housing, reproductive rights and the provision of vehicles.” [Bridgerton star] Nicola Coughlan.”

Oliver then went on to note that a few days after his debate, Vance attended an event called the “Courage Tour,” hosted by Lance Wallnau, an evangelical preacher who is also the founder and CEO of the Dallas-based Lance Learning Group. described as “a strategic teaching and consulting company.” Oliver described Wallnau as “a prominent far-right Christian nationalist” who described Harris as someone who used “witchcraft” and had an “occult spirit… working on and through him.”

Oliver joked: “First of all, Kamala Harris is not the one who relentlessly promotes witchcraft. You’re thinking of Universal’s marketing department,” he joked, showing a photo of the upcoming movie musical Evil. “And this guy clearly shouldn’t be commenting on the election. “He was supposed to be standing in a tent in 1856 selling mercury tonics to children that he claimed would make them talk to spirits.”

He also criticized Wallnau for saying God intervened to bring Vance to Pittsburgh when Hurricane Helene disrupted Vance’s schedule.

“As you know, we have vice presidential candidate JD Vance before us,” Wallnau said in a video played by Oliver. “And I’ll be honest with you, I think it’s a direct act of God because it just happened a certain way. Pittsburgh wasn’t even on the map. It was supposed to be North Carolina, and God changed it so quickly.”

Oliver’s response: “If you believe in a God who creates a devastating hurricane just so JD Vance can spend an afternoon outside of Pittsburgh, then your God sounds like an asshole.”

Oliver also played a clip of this exchange between Vance and Walz during last week’s debate, which discussed the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Vance: “Remember [Trump] said that demonstrators should protest peacefully on January 6th. And on January 20th, Joe Biden became president, Donald Trump left the White House.”

Walz: “Did he lose the 2020 election?”

Vance: “Tim, I’m focused on the future.”

Walz: “That’s a damn non-answer.”

Oliver called Vance’s response “one of the most generic store-brand fuckboy diversions.” He added: “This response was particularly glaring considering that the day after the debate, a judge unsealed special prosecutor Jack Smith’s 165-page brief in the election fraud case against Trump, reminding us once again of the ridiculous steps he took.” “To prevent him from taking office.” In the letter, prosecutors claimed they spoke to a White House staffer who said he heard Trump telling his family members that it didn’t matter whether you won the election or lost, you still have to “fight like hell.”

“But it’s super important when you lose. “That’s kind of the most important thing,” Oliver said, adding: “If he loses next month, there’s every reason to believe that Trump will challenge the results again.” And Vance has made it clear he has no problem with that and that alone should mean a disqualification. With all the talk this week about his debate politeness, let us not forget: deep down, he is the same colossal idiot who spews right-wing hatred with frightening ease and continues to promote the Big Lie that the last election was stolen.”
