He ain’t american.
Oliver moved to America in 2007 and became a U.S. citizen in 2019.
He's a polemicist whose show appeals to his Democrat base. He uses selective evidence, hyperbole and cheap shots to make overt political points. I watched the apparent takedown of Carlson by Oliver. It fell really flat without the canned laughter. Is that the best he can do? Dredge through someone's college yearbook photos to discredit them. Who didn't have some silly views when they were 20? In a later video, apparently Carlson's crime was wearing a blazer and a dickie bow - while espousing anti-racist views. Oliver is not exactly a working class or multi-ethnic hero. He attended the very white and elite Christ's College, Cambridge and was a member of the very white Cambridge Footlights comedy group. He's a typical leftist entitled grifter.
