John Oliver Brutally Mocks Andrew Cuomo’s Weird Kissing Video
On Sunday night, John Oliver kicked off the latest episode of Last Week Tonight by poking fun at Tucker Carlson’s fascism tour in Hungary before addressing the recent revelations about Andrew Cuomo. The New York governor not only covered up the state’s COVID-19 nursing home deaths (which he is in large part responsible for by ordering those with COVID-19 back into nursing homes) and released a book during the ongoing pandemic about how well he was handling it but also has been found to have sexually harassed multiple women—including former staffers. (Cuomo has denied the allegations.)
“New York’s AG released a devastating report into allegations of sexual harassment by Andrew Cuomo—which incredibly, he’s trying to ride out, issuing a video in which he tried to deny or downplay the accusations,” said Oliver.
The comic then cut to an outrageous video Cuomo released at a press conference of him embracing and kissing a number of people—many of whom were celebrities, including Bill Clinton and Robert De Niro.
