John Oliver Curses Off Paris Attackers: ‘F*ck These Assholes’

HBO.

The host of HBO’s ‘Last Week Tonight’ had some harsh words for the terrorists who unleashed a horrific series of attacks on Paris.

In the wake of Friday’s series of brutal attacks on Paris, a coordinated assault against Western culture—music, sports, and fine dining—carried out by a group of ISIS-affiliated gunmen and suicide bombers that left at least 127 people dead and scores more injured, people reacted in different ways.

Some, like emotionally stunted trolls Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, and GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump, exploited the tragic event in service of their own political goals. Hollywood filmmaker Guillermo del Toro chose to share his own harrowing tale of his father’s kidnapping, preaching against violence begetting more violence. The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert delivered a heartfelt message that had the funnyman on the verge of tears. And, on the late-night program Real Time with Bill Maher, the political satirist Bill Maher placed part of the blame for the attacks on the West, claiming that Western coalition forces bombing ISIS overseas is what caused the Paris massacre.

On Sunday night, Maher’s HBO colleague John Oliver—of Last Week Tonight fame—laid into the terrorists in a passionate, expletive-laden rant.
