\n John Oliver took a jab at \u2014 who else? \u2014 Donald Trump in the opening segment of Sunday\u2019s Last Week Tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n But first, there\u2019s a lot of backstory to explain, for those who missed it, and it all has to do with McDonald\u2019s, which has been in the news<\/a> a lot of late.<\/p>\n

\n First, an E. coli outbreak was linked to an item on the fast-food chain\u2019s menu in recent days. Initially, it was believed that Quarter Pounders were to blame for at least one death and 75 other customers becoming ill across 13 states. However, on Sunday, McDonald\u2019s said that testing ruled out the beef patties as the cause. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said it now believes the source of the outbreak is slivered onions. As of Sunday, McDonald\u2019s said it would be putting Quarter Pounders back on the menu but without the onions.<\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, Republican presidential nominee Trump made a campaign stop at a McDonald\u2019s in suburban Philadelphia last Sunday. He worked the fry station before answering questions through the drive-through window. The fast-food chain said it doesn\u2019t endorse candidates but the owner-operator of the location, Derek Giacomantonio, reached out after he learned of Trump\u2019s desire to visit a Pennsylvania restaurant.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cUpon learning of the former president\u2019s request, we app<\/a>roached it through the lens of one of our core values: we open our doors to everyone,\u201d the company said. \u201cMcDonald\u2019s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next president. We are not red or blue \u2014 we are golden.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Trump\u2019s opponent, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, has said during her campaign many times that she once worked at McDonald\u2019s. Harris has accused her of lying, and McDonald\u2019s has said it doesn\u2019t have records for all positions going back to the \u201980s but is proud of \u201cHarris\u2019 fond memories working under the arches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n On Sunday night, HBO\u2018s Oliver made one quip that tied all of the news together in his opening segment.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cAn E. coli outbreak was tied to McDonald\u2019s but was still somehow the second most revolting thing inside of one this week,\u201d he joked, showing a photo of Trump standing at the drive-through window.<\/p>\n

\n Oliver spent the rest of his show focusing on immigration in not one but two main segments, outlining Trump\u2019s policies and urging voters to pick Harris in the upcoming election. He also took a look at the complicated history of using Lee Greenwood\u2019s \u201cGod Bless the USA\u201d at citizenship ceremonies. It ended with a music video of Will Ferrell singing a patriotic song that Oliver says he will pay the government to start using at those ceremonies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
