John Oliver on Trump's refusal to concede: 'Absolutely unforgivable'

The Last Week Tonight host debunks Trump's baseless claims of fraud and warns agains the damage of humoring the president

John Oliver tore into Donald Trump's pathetic, dangerous" refusal to acknowledge Joe Biden's victory on Last Week Tonight, after two weeks of the president's attempts to delegitimize the results of the election with baseless claims of voter fraud, backed by most congressional Republicans. The Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, for example, said Trump is 100% within his rights" to challenge the election result, and chastised Democrats on the Senate floor for any lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election".

First, no one expected Trump to immediately, cheerfully accept the results," Oliver countered. He's incapable of cheerfully accepting anything apart from blowjobs, Nazi endorsements and the opportunity to scream inside a stranger's truck," to harken back to a photo-op from two years or what feels like two decades ago.
