As the Donald Trump campaign attempts to fling dirt at Kamala Harris, John Oliver is just trying to make sense of the latest nickname.
On Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight, the comedian expressed confusion at Trump referring to his opponent as “Kamabla” in multiple social media posts, as well as his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung posting a Venn diagram comparing the words “Kama” and “bla.”
He noted it “not only failed to explain anything, it’s not how venn diagrams work! Not to be a total chart bitch, but I am what I am.”
Oliver then explained the actual purpose of a Venn diagram before laying out some examples. “For instance, a Venn diagram could feature one circle with a dolphins and another with sharks overlapping with the shared descriptor, ‘lives in the ocean,’” he started.
“Or you could have a circle with me and another with Big Bird. With the overlap being, ‘squawks educational lessons on television,’” Oliver continued.
“Or you can have a circle with Jenna Ortega and one with Pepé Le Pew, with the intersection, ‘can’t say where they were on 9/11.’ Does it matter that one’s fictional and one wasn’t born yet? I can’t answer that, I’m just telling you what the diagram logically highlights.
“My point is, you can have lots of fun with charts, but this—” he said, referring back to Cheung’s original diagram. “This right here is f—ing nothing.”
Ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 5 presidential election, Trump and Harris have agreed to debates for Fox News on Sept. 4, ABC on Sept. 10 and NBC on Sept. 25.
