John Oliver criticizes Trump over 'lies' about coronavirus on 'Last Week Tonight'
Referring to what he called the president's history of "low-stakes lies," the 'Last Week Tonight' host said "there is a difference between lying about something that means literally nothing, and lying about the spread of a deadly disease."During the segment, he brought up various fears and misconceptions about the virus, which led him to address Trump's response to the spread of the illness.
Oliver also played a clip from a press conference in which he said he was putting Vice President Mike Pence "in charge" of a task force managing the crisis, which led to some confusion among the reporters about whether Alex Azar, Secretary of Health and Human Services, was still overseeing the government's response to the crisis.
"He just left," Oliver said. "This was a press conference meant to calm the nation, and with the most basic question of who would be running things seemingly up in the air, he just fucked right off," Oliver said. "I know we used to only see 'Businessman Trump,' but it is nice to occasionally get a glimpse of the absentee father in him too."
