John Oliver broke the “Last Week Tonight” format and turned the entire show into “one long recap of one very long week.”The main topic was the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination and the sexual assault allegations against him. But what really stunned Oliver was the fact that so many on the right were willing to support Kavanaugh even if he was guilty because they believed he will help overturn Roe vs Wade and restrict abortion rights. Oliver summed it up:“It’s fine to appoint someone who has committed sexual assault to the Supreme Court as long as they will curtail abortion rights. He’s crying at the memory of lifting weights at his friend Tobin’s house,” Oliver pointed out. “I hate to say it, but I’m starting to think that men might be too emotional for the Supreme Court.”Oliver also described Kavanaugh as “Trumpian” for citing conspiracy theories that blamed “left-wing opposition groups” and “the Clintons” for the accusations against him.
