Popular television host John Oliver, known for his satirical and informative show “Last Week Tonight,” recently took aim at the new Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. During his Sunday segment, Oliver humorously highlighted some amusing aspects related to Johnson, one of which involved Senator Susan Collins.
Oliver found it particularly entertaining that Collins, when discussing Johnson, reportedly admitted to having to search for information about him using the popular search engine, Google. Collins’ comment amused Oliver, who described it as “the most Susan Collins thing she could say,” suggesting that she often relies on outside sources for information.
The comedian then playfully quoted a tweet by former President Donald Trump who retaliated against Oliver’s comments by saying, “To get even, ‘his verbal skills are limited.’ Well, that’s one I haven’t heard before.” Trump’s tweet mocks Oliver’s communication abilities, but Oliver seemingly takes the comment in stride.
It’s worth noting that while Oliver’s remarks about the new Speaker of the House contain comedic elements, they aim to entertain and provide viewers with a lighthearted take on current political events. However, it is important to avoid content that violates YouTube’s policies or includes inappropriate language, sexual content, or shocking words.
