The alleged “twinkle in his eye” was missing from John Oliver’s latest Sunday rant on Last Week Tonight. The HBO host was tremendously upset that “centrist Democrats” are supposedly insistent on “bending over backwards for conservatives” to the point where they are praising Ronald Reagan. As Oliver tells it, the best thing Reagan did was die, and that if he were alive today, he would “cum so hard he would die again” at Trump’s “racist shit.”
Oliver began by denouncing Democrats who joined with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green for his outburst at President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, “Democrats in the room didn't seem to have a coordinated plan to respond. Some dressed up in matching outfits, while others held up signs on paddles. One member stood up to protest during the speech, an action 10 Democrats, incredibly, then joined with Republicans in censuring him for, despite similar protests during Biden's term triggering no such repercussions.”
Moving on, Oliver turned to Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, “That move was in keeping with centrist Democrats' current insistence on bending over backwards to cater to conservatives, something also on display in Elissa Slotkin's official rebuttal to Trump, in which she criticized his treatment of Zelensky like this.”
In the clip, Slotkin declared that, “Reagan must be rolling in his grave. We all want an end to the war in Ukraine, but Reagan understood that true strength required America to combine our military and economic might with moral clarity. [jump cut] As a Cold War kid, I'm thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War.”
Oliver got nasty real quick, “Yeah, she criticized Trump by praising Reagan. And I will admit there are positive things you can say about Reagan, like ‘He was our only president to make a movie with a chimp,’ or ‘He's dead,’ but his moral clarity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through the 1980s.”
Tying the whole thing back to Trump, Oliver added, “I'm just saying, if you brought Reagan back from the dead and told him all the racist shit Trump's managed to do in less than two months, he'd cum so hard he'd die again.”
Inadvertently, Oliver showed why nobody takes accusations of Trump being a racist seriously. If you were to bring back Reagan, he would simply say to Oliver, “There you go again.” Because liberals, like himself, call every Republican a racist, and at some point, people just stop listening to and start dismissing such hysteria.
Here is a transcript for the March 9 show:

JOHN OLIVER: Because Democrats in the room didn't seem to have a coordinated plan to respond. Some dressed up in matching outfits, while others held up signs on paddles. One member stood up to protest during the speech, an action 10 Democrats, incredibly, then joined with Republicans in censuring him for, despite similar protests during Biden's term triggering no such repercussions.
That move was in keeping with centrist Democrats' current insistence on bending over backwards to cater to conservatives, something also on display in Elissa Slotkin's official rebuttal to Trump, in which she criticized his treatment of Zelensky like this.
ELISSA SLOTKIN: Reagan must be rolling in his grave. We all want an end to the war in Ukraine, but Reagan understood that true strength required America to combine our military and economic might with moral clarity. [jump cut] As a Cold War kid, I'm thankful it was Reagan and not Trump in office in the 1980s. Trump would have lost us the Cold War.
OLIVER: Yeah, she criticized Trump by praising Reagan. And I will admit there are positive things you can say about Reagan, like "He was our only president to make a movie with a chimp," or "He's dead," but his moral clarity might come as a surprise to any gay people who lived through the 1980s. I'm just saying, if you brought Reagan back from the dead and told him all the racist shit Trump's managed to do in less than two months, he'd cum so hard he'd die again.
