Alright, let’s sharpen the knives and carve up John Oliver like the overcooked turkey he is! This sanctimonious twit, perched on his HBO throne, has once again proven he’s less a comedian and more a textbook fool—a bumbling court jester who’d trip over his own punchlines if they weren’t spoon-fed by his army of smug writers. His latest masterpiece of moronity? Proclaiming that if a Hamas supporter says they’re not anti-Semitic, well, by golly, that settles it! Case closed, folks—straight from the gospel of St. Oliver, patron saint of self-righteous drivel!
This NewsBusters gem lays it bare: John Oliver, with all the intellectual heft of a soggy napkin, actually argued that Mahmoud Khalil—a pro-Hamas protest leader at Columbia—can’t be anti-Semitic because, wait for it, he says he’s not. Brilliant! Why didn’t we think of that? I guess if a bank robber says he’s just “borrowing” the cash, we should hand him the keys to the vault! Oliver’s logic is so flimsy it couldn’t hold up a house of cards in a breeze—yet here he is, pontificating like he’s the Oracle of Delphi instead of a limey loudmouth with a microphone.
Newsbusters: Oliver Claims If Hamas Supporter Says He Isn’t Anti-Semitic, He Isn’t
HBO’s John Oliver thinks Republicans are racists, and the fact that Republicans would vehemently reject the label doesn’t matter to him. However, on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, Oliver tried to claim that former Columbia University student and pro-Hamas protest leader Mahmoud Khalil isn’t anti-Semitic because Khalil claims he’s not and therefore the efforts to deport him are an attempt by the Trump Administration to silence opinions they do not like.
Oliver declared that, “Clearly, you shouldn’t be deporting green card holders for their views. And for what it’s worth: Regardless of what others may’ve said or done during those protests, Khalil himself explicitly said, ‘anti-Semitism, and any other form of racism, has no place on this campus and in this movement.’”
This is peak Oliver: a man who mistakes a smirk for wit and a British accent for gravitas, waltzing through complex issues with the nuance of a sledgehammer. Hamas, a group that’s literally spelled out its Jew-hating playbook in its charter, gets a free pass because one of its cheerleaders pinky-swears he’s just misunderstood? Oh, John, you precious dolt! Did you miss the part where Khalil’s crew was caught distributing pro-Hamas propaganda—or were you too busy polishing your Peabody awards to notice? This isn’t comedy; it’s a clown show, and Oliver’s the ringmaster, juggling ignorance and arrogance with all the grace of a drunk toddler.
Let’s not kid ourselves—Oliver’s not here to enlighten; he’s here to preach to his choir of latte-sipping sycophants who clap like trained seals at every half-baked zinger. He’s the fool who thinks “vibes” outweigh facts, that feelings trump evidence, and that a terrorist fanboy’s word is gold. If this is what passes for insight on Last Week Tonight, then the joke’s on us for ever taking this pompous prat seriously. John Oliver, textbook fool? Nah, he’s the whole damn curriculum—Foolery 101, taught by a dunce in a suit who’s too dim to see he’s the punchline!
