John Oliver criticized Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance during a recent episode of 'Last Week Tonight' for his remarks suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris should not enjoy her campaign rallies while Americans suffer under Democratic policies. Vance's comments included a stark reminder of the hardships faced by families, which Oliver rebuffed, asking, 'What are you doing? Scolding people for enjoying stuff because there are sadder things happening elsewhere is a s--ty thing to do.' He humorously speculated on how Vance might behave in social situations, illustrating the absurdity of his negativity. Oliver further remarked that such an approach is not conducive to becoming a vice president, but rather puts people to sleep. The segment underscores the ongoing political tensions and contrasting campaign styles as the Democratic and Republican tickets prepare for the election.
