John Oliver Returns to Brutally Roast Josh Hawley Over Jan. 6 Fleeing Video
Following a month-long absence—and two Emmy nominations—John Oliver returned to the desk of Last Week Tonight on Sunday to excoriate the grifters and clowns of the week.
When we last saw him, he was going after Democratic leadership for their lackluster response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which included Nancy Pelosi reciting a poem and one House representative doing yoga in his office.
This week’s edition saw Oliver take on Josh Hawley, the ineffectual GOP Missouri senator who pumped his fist at the Jan. 6 insurrections to rile them up. On Thursday, the Jan. 6 Committee revealed footage of Hawley running for safety when the people he incited that day stormed the Capitol.
