On HBO's Last Week Tonight, an emotional and angry John Oliver wrapped up his comparison of the Republican and Democratic national conventions with a withering commentary on GOP nominee Donald Trump's smear of the family of a war hero.
Going where regular cable pundits won't or can't go, the HBO host cut right to chase by addressing Trump as: "you f*cking asshole."
After showing clips of Trump speaking with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, where he appeared to make it seem that Ghazala Khan -- the grieving mother of war hero Capt. Humayun Khan -- was afraid to speak in front of her husband due to the family's religious beliefs, Oliver unloaded on Trump.
"Okay," Oliver began, "For a start, his wife has explained that she chose not to speak because she gets too upset when she sees images of her dead son's face, you f*cking asshole. But, I'm sorry, please continue."
After running a clip of Trump he made while building up his businesses to the loss of Khan's son, Oliver had enough.
"No. No they absolutely are not" Oliver railed. "They are half-truths from a self-serving half-man who has somehow convinced half the country that sacrifice is the same thing as success."
"Honestly, the main take-away from these two weeks is that, incredibly, we may be on the brink of electing such a damaged, sociopathic narcissist, that the simple presidential duty of comforting the families of fallen soldiers mat actually be beyond his capabilities," Oliver exclaimed. "And I genuinely did not think that was the part of the job that someone could be bad at."
