‘Oh, F**k You’: John Oliver Absolutely Unloads On Pete Hegseth In Fiery 35-Minute Takedown
Key Points:
- John Oliver devoted 35 minutes of his “Last Week Tonight” show to a harsh critique of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, calling for his impeachment due to perceived damage to the U.S. military and controversial policies.
- Oliver highlighted a series of red flags in Hegseth’s career, including his leadership changes, rules of engagement, and stance on women in combat, which Oliver strongly condemned.
- The comedian argued that Hegseth’s impact on the military is irreparable and urged Congress to remove him from office and bar him from future federal positions.
- When Oliver’s team requested comment from the Pentagon, they received a dismissive response telling them to “Deport John Oliver.”
- Oliver predicted that if removed, Hegseth would likely return to Fox News but maintained that this outcome would still be preferable to his current role as defense secretary.
