HBO’s John Oliver will occasionally use Last Week Tonight to try to educate American viewers on a subject they know little about, but the subject of Oliver’s Sunday wrath this time was not the dictatorship of Turkmenistan, but his native Britain’s Conservative Party which is down in the polls ahead of their July 4 election.

Last night, the 74th Emmy Awards on NBC, hosted by Kenan Thompson, honored talentless hacks like John Oliver while snubbing some of the most successful non-woke entertainers of the past year.

HBO host John Oliver hates anyone or anything conservative.
