The talk show host highlighted the fallout from the Epstein files.

John Oliver has savaged CBS for refusing to fire longevity expert Peter Attia despite his multiple cringeworthy appearances in the Epstein files.from 2016 saw him tell Epstein, who was jailed on child sex charges in 2008, “P---y is, indeed, low carb.

Still awaiting results on gluten content, though.”Oliver pointed out that Attia still remains employed by CBS News, after being recruited by MAGA-curious News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss.Oliver said that the details about Attia in the Epstein files “aren’t great” but that he had apologized for them.“Incredibly, as of taping, CBS News still seems to be keeping him on as a contributor,” Oliver said of Attia. “It is wild that CBS News somehow has lower standards than a protein bar company that markets their products like this, and also like this,” before sharing some of the company’s sexually-charged advertising imagery.“And I’m not sure who, at that company, thought their bars needed to be ’80s horny, but I hope they’re gone, too.”The talk show host called out Lutnick, saying he had only met Epstein once, in 2005, and called him “disgusting” and stated he never wanted to be in a room with him again.However, the latest tranche of documents reveals Lutnick actually visited Epstein’s island with his wife, four children, and nannies as part of a family vacation, seven years after he claimed they had only met once. “To be clear, there was a lot untoward about meeting Epstein in 2012,” Oliver said. “He left jail three years earlier, as a sex offender, and it was widely known what kind of guy he was at that time, and it’s not a great look, that it seems the end of Lutnick’s sentence, ‘I will never be in the room with that disgusting person again’ was ‘unless, that is, I can bring mah kids!’”Oliver stated while he was not accusing Lutnick or Attia of committing crimes, he was happy to call out “just how comfortable far too many people were” in looking beyond Epstein’s “heinous actions.” “To give her the lack of accountability in all this, there’s at least some satisfaction in knowing just how nervous some powerful men must be feeling right now,” the host said. “A nervousness that’s kind of hard to put into words, but luckily, I think this picture sums it up pretty well.”
