John Oliver Mocks Todd Blanche For Showing Love To Trump

The “Last Week Tonight” host tossed to a clip of Blanche, who, after being tasked with filling in for fired Attorney General Pam Bondi in April, confessed what he loves about working for the president.

“It’s the greatest honor of a lifetime. And if President Trump chooses to keep me as acting, that’s an honor. If he chooses to nominate me, that’s an honor. If he chooses to nominate somebody else and I go back to being a dad, that’s an honor,” he told reporters at the time.

“If he chooses to nominate somebody else and asks me to go do something else, I will say thank you very much. I love you, sir.”

The host reacted to the clip, “Jesus, Todd! There is sucking up and whatever that was!”

Oliver joked that Blanche sounded like he was “freestyling a version of ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ about what he’s willing to do for the president” before flashing the cover of a mock Dr. Seuss book titled, “Brown Nose goes H.A.M.”

“‘I’d kiss his ass on a boat, I’d tickle his balls with a goat,’” quipped Oliver as he turned the pages to new illustrations from his parody of the children’s book.

“‘I love the president with my soul, I yield to him my every hole.’”
