The U.S. presidential election hasn’t even occurred but, however as John Oliver demonstrated throughout Final Week Tonight, Donald Trump supporters already look like laying the groundwork to cry “voter fraud” conspiracy theories if the previous president would not win.
Throughout Sunday’s episode, Oliver breaks down one such technique: a demonstrably false declare made by Fox Information persona Maria Bartiromo, who posted “from a pal” on X saying there have been strains of unlawful immigrants registering to vote for Democrats at a number of DMVs.
“I am genuinely inquisitive about the one who noticed a large line on the DMV and their intuition was, ‘This have to be illegals registering to vote’ and never the DMV functioning prefer it has for the reason that daybreak of time. Do they blame all frequent inconveniences on immigration? ‘Oh shit I burned my mouth on this espresso, the illegals have to be brewing it further sizzling to burn our tongues into silence,'” says Oliver.
“If you take all of this collectively — the lies about immigrants voting, the mass voter challenges, the introduction of latest processes to decelerate and query vote counts — it appears depressingly doubtless we’re about to see a storm of bullshit identical to final time.”
