John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight, has publicly offered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1 million a year to immediately resign from his position. In a recent episode, Oliver presented this offer, in addition to a $2.4 million motor home, as a real proposition in an attempt to make connections to old, left-wing allegations about Thomas’ financial ties.
In his typically unfunny fashion, Oliver – who was unable to make it on the UK comedy circuit and so emigrated to the United States – ranted for two minutes about the benefits of a recreational vehicle before demanding Justice Thomas respond within 30 days.
Oliver made it clear that he alone is funding the offer, with lawyers from his HBO network doubtless balking at the concept.
