\n John Oliver says that folks who are praising last week\u2019s vice presidential debate for its \u201ccivility\u201d are missing the point.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe debate included discussions on how to carry out mass deportations and whether women should have control over their own bodies,\u201d the Last Week Tonight<\/em> host said during Sunday\u2019s opening segment. \u201cEtiquette is kind of beside the point. It\u2019s like reading a ransom note and going, \u2018This cursive is just so lovely. Look at the capital Y in \u201cYou have 24 hours before he dies.\u201d There are still some people who were raised right.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Incidentally, the debate \u2014\u00a0between Donald Trump\u2018s Republican running mate, J.D. Vance, and Kamala Harris\u2019 Democratic running mate, Tim Walz \u2014 took place at CBS Broadcast Center in New York, which is also home to Last Week Tonight.<\/em> \u201cIn fact, this studio served as the post-debate spin room, meaning that you are all breathing in the same air particles that were once inside Don [Trump] Jr.\u2019s nose and mouth. So if anyone in this audience wakes up tomorrow feeling like you have a sore throat and you\u2019re a total disapp<\/a>ointment to your father, that is probably why,\u201d Oliver quipped.<\/p>\n

\n Oliver showed clips of various commentators noting that the candidates were \u201ccivil\u201d and \u201cpolite\u201d and noting \u201cthat\u2019s what the country has been saying they want more of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Replied Oliver: \u201cOn the list of things America\u2019s been saying it wants more of, civility is at best No. 6, after affordable healthcare, gun control, cheaper housing, reproductive rights and starring vehicles for [Bridgerton<\/em> star] Nicola Coughlan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Oliver then went on to note that a few days after he debate,\u00a0Vance took part in an event dubbed the Courage Tour, hosted by Lance Wallnau, an evangelical preacher who is also founder and CEO of the Dallas-based Lance Learning Group, self-described as \u201ca strategic teaching and consulting company.\u201d Oliver described Wallnau as \u201ca prominent far-right Christian nationalist\u201d who has described Harris as someone who has used \u201cwitchcraft\u201d and has an \u201coccult spirit \u2026 operating on her and through her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Joked Oliver: \u201cFirst, Kamala Harris isn\u2019t the one who\u2019s been relentlessly promoting witchcraft. You\u2019re thinking of Universal\u2019s marketing department,\u201d he quipped, showing a photo of the upcoming movie musical Wicked<\/em>. \u201cAnd this guy clearly shouldn\u2019t be commenting on the election. He should be standing in a tent in 1856 selling children mercury tonics that he claims will let them talk to ghosts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n He also criticized Wallnau for saying that God intervened to bring Vance to Pittsburgh when Hurricane Helene disrupted Vance\u2019s schedule.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cAs you know, we have vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance coming,\u201d Wallnau said in a video Oliver played. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll be honest with you, I take that as a direct act of God because it just came together in a certain way. Pittsburgh wasn\u2019t even on the map. It was supposed to be North Carolina, and God switched it that fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Oliver\u2019s response: \u201cIf you believe in a God who\u2019d unleash a devastating hurricane just so J.D. Vance could spend an afternoon outside Pittsburgh, your God sounds like an asshole.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Oliver also played a clip of this exchange between Vance and Walz talking about the 2020 presidential election results during last week\u2019s debate.<\/p>\n

\n Vance: \u201cRemember [Trump] said that on January the sixth, the protesters ought to protest peacefully. And on January the 20th, what happened: Joe Biden became the president, Donald Trump left the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Walz: \u201cDid he lose the 2020 election?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Vance: \u201cTim, I\u2019m focused on the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Walz: \u201cThat is a damning non-answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Oliver called Vance\u2019s response \u201cone of the most generic store-brand fuck-boy deflections.\u201d He added: \u201cThat answer was especially glaring considering the day after the debate, a judge unsealed special prosecutor Jack Smith\u2019s 165-page brief in the election fraud case against Trump reminding us yet again of the ridiculous steps he took to avoid leaving office.\u201d In the brief, prosecutors claimed they spoke with a White House staffer who said he overheard Trump telling family members that it doesn\u2019t matter if you won or lost the election, you still have to \u201cfight like hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cBut it super matters if you lost. It\u2019s kind of the main thing that matters,\u201d Oliver said, adding: \u201cIf he loses next month, there is every reason to believe Trump will dispute the results again. And Vance has made it clear, he\u2019s got no problem with that and that alone should be disqualifying. For all the talk this week about his civility at the debate, let\u2019s not forget: Deep down, he\u2019s the same colossal dipshit who spews right-wing hate with distressing ease and continues to defend the big lie that the last election was stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
