John Oliver Lambasts Mel Gibson following Justice Dept. Lawyer Fire

Following the news that he was a lawyer of the ranking justice department, Liz Oyer apparently fired for opposing restoration Mel GibsonWeapon rights after losing them because of a conviction for crime of domestic violence, John Oliver He took a jab to the actor and director with a scandal himself.

The host gave the start Last week tonight Telling Gibson, “the best known for his work in screams,” he had a cursed wikipedia section full of detail about his different controversy, but that the real jewel was his father’s entry.

“I recommend you consult the Wikipedia’s page and, while you are there, consult his father,” he said. “Because the only opening paragraph is spectacular. “Hutton Peter Gibson was a theoretician of American conspiracy, Holocaust denier, writer about sedevacantism” – which is a belief that there was no valid pope from 1958 – “a veteran of the Second World War. One! Great champion for 1968 and the father of 11 children, one of whom is the actor and director Mel Gibson. ‘This is a fascinating man! Imagine -you have so many terrible opinions that Mel Gibson’s production is not the worst thing for you. ”

Tying in that news with Mahmoud Khalildetention that ACLU has condemned as “illegal,” Oliver said that President Donald Trump’s assertion that arrest was to eliminate anti -Semitism is “quite rich, given that the top Dod press secretary has recently been found to have a history of racist and anti -Semitic tweets; Musk and JD Vance have recently supported Germany’s AFD, a party with neo-Nazis links; And of course it was this SH- (blinks on the screen an image of Musk’s Nazis greeting) and that was everything before reaching this week’s efforts to make sure that this type (Gibson)-whose opinions about Jews are to say a question of public registration-the weapons have returned. “

The addition of Khalil, a student from Colombia who said that anti-Semitism does not take place in his activism and was supported by Jewish classmates on campus, Oliver said: “You may feel different about the Israel-Palestine conflict than Khalil, you may not agree with the things I said about it, someone else, this, is deported in bone quality. And I will be honest, anyone who has gone through the US immigration process has probably had a lot of agitated anxious feelings this week. I came here to start working at The Daily Show on a visa; When I started this show, I had a green book and five years ago, I became a citizen. I know how to live in constant fear of being kicked out of somewhere you see at home. ”

Oliver concluded the opening segment, calling on a “F -Inh” disgrace “and stating that the public response should be” unequivocal “.

“Rights, such as freedom of expression, are a fundamental part of life in this country,” he said, “and if we do not protect them, unfortunately, like Teslas, inexplicably, for sale on the white house, this week, could go, leaving.”
