Oliver took aim at White House nepotism.
John Oliver skewered Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump on Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight. Taking aim at the couple’s relative lack of political experience, he blasted their White House positions and security clearance as examples of nepotism.
Oliver speculated that Kushner maintains his relaxed, “radiant” appearance in spite of his role because he simply doesn’t understand the complexities of the mammoth “to-do list” his diplomatic commitments entail. Moving on to Ivanka, the comedian laid bare his views on nepotism in the White House. Targeting Trump’s recent declaration on The View that her father had “no involvement” in her and Kushner’s controversial security clearance, Oliver said she was either lying or genuinely believed the pair were deserving of the privilege.
“Ivanka...you only became an executive vice president of the Trump Organization at 24 because you’re Donald Trump’s daughter, not because you are a 24-year-old business prodigy,” he said.
