If you’re not all that familiar with Mel Gibson’s father, “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver would definitely recommend checking out the man’s Wikipedia page. The HBO host was simply stunned by it on Sunday night.
His recommendation came at the start of the latest episode of the show, in which Oliver highlighted the story of former Department of Justice official Liz Oyer. Last week, Oyer was terminated from her job and told media that it was because she recommended a day earlier that Gibson’s gun ownership rights not be restored.
“Wow, that is, frankly, incredible,” Oliver said. “She got fired because she didn’t think Mel Gibson, best known for his work in screaming, should have guns.”
