Returning after a one month hiatus, Last Week Tonight host John Oliver took a deep dive into the scandals big and small surrounding presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Needless to say, Trump came out quantifiably worse according to the HBO host.
However, Oliver explained, Clinton deserved equal scrutiny in the interest of fairness.
I do know that even talking about her scandals will irritate some of you, given that her opponent is an unambiguously racist scarecrow stuffed with scrunched-up copies of Jugs magazine, and thats fair, Oliver stated. But not being as bad as Donald Trump is a low bar to clear, and if you focus on nothing but him, you fail to vet a woman who might be president.
Weve spent several frustrating weeks trolling through all the innuendo and exaggerations surrounding Hillarys email and foundation scandals, and the worst thing we can say is that they both look bad. But the harder you look, the less you actually find, he maintained. Theres not nothing there, but what is there is irritating rather than grossly nefarious.

Fuck Donald Trump. And fuck the media for giving him a free pass, while Hillary Clinton is getting crap for using an e-mail server.
