Considering all the brutal events in the past week, John Oliver had a lot to unpack Last Week Tonight. First, he talked about the protests in the wake of the horrific death of George Floyd. He said…
, who expressed condolences to Floyd’s death but then soon after wrote a tweet about “thugs” protesting. “When a man like Donald Trump uses the word ‘thugs’, you know exactly what its code for,” he said before turning his focus on one part of the tweet when the former host said “when the looting starts, the shooting starts”, a phrase used by “notoriously racist” 1960s Miami police Chief Walter Headley.
Oliver starts to unpack the idea of mail-in voting, citing that 70% of people favor allowing any voter to vote by mail if they want to. He adds, “If this pandemic continues into the fall, as it almost certainly will, people will want to do exactly that.” There was a massive reduction of polling sites during the primary. Milwaukee alone went from 180 polling sites to five and there were a record number of mail-in ballots that were requested but never delivered.
Conservatives say that mail-in voting benefits Democrats even though researchers have consistently found that it hasn’t helped one party over another.
