John Oliver devoted Sunday’s entire “Last Week Tonight” episode to a takedown of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, whom the HBO host dubbed a “walking crushed beer can.”
Throughout the half-hour, Oliver also called Kavanaugh a “53-year-old frat pledge” and nicknamed him “Judge ‘Animal House.’”
Oh yeah, and then he just straight-up called the guy an “a–hole.”
“I’m starting to think that men might be too emotional for the Supreme Court,” Oliver said while mocking Kavanaugh’s testimony, which often vacillated between tearful and angry as the Trump-appointee denied sexual misconduct accusations. “Also, he’d be really pretty if he just smiled more.”
“There should be plenty in what we saw this week to cause you real concern, because a key part of the job that he is up for is judgment and temperament,” the “Daily Show” alum added. “And this week, we saw Kavanaugh talk over the top of senators, dodge questions, and conflate “doesn’t recall something happening” with “denies something happened,” which is — again — a f–king important distinction for a judge.”
“Not to mention, he repeatedly wept at the concept of calendars,” Oliver dug in.
Oliver doesn’t even understand why Republicans are sticking with Kavanaugh. Surely there’s a whole bench of other SCOTUS nominee candidates that wouldn’t require such a circus to get appointed.
“It feels like their doing this just to deliver a ‘f–k you’ to Democrats, and even more directly, a ‘f–k you’ to women,” he said.
