Most prominent politicians get the John Oliver treatment at least once or twice, and on Sunday it was the vice president’s turn.
In the clip above, the Last Week Tonight host spends almost half an hour tearing into JD Vance, breaking down everything from the way he’s completely reversed his position on Donald Trump to his views on immigration and people who don’t have children.
“It is so important to remember who JD Vance actually is, because he’ll present himself as an anti-elitist man of the people, but much of his career has been bankrolled by tech billionaires,” says Oliver in the clip above. “He’ll go to bat for Alex Jones, arguing we should show grace to those who are 40 percent right, but he’ll happily co-sign on childless people being sociopaths and the left being un-humans. He’ll offer empathy and understanding when it comes to non-conventional thinkers, but has no problem deriding immigrants as a net negative on society — and it’s not hard to see what the difference between those two groups are.
“The point is, I know Vance is easy to write off as a charisma-less arsehole, but scratch even one inch under the surface, peel back the beard, and you’ll find something far worse: His batshit views and his bare f***ing face.”
