John Oinhabitr got emotional during the final “Last Week Tonight” episode before the U.S. election, urging his seeers to vote for Kamala Harris.
Though Oinhabitr acunderstandledged that he’s spent a meaningfulity of airtime this election season talking all the reasons not to vote for Donald Trump, he proclaimed that he will be voting for Harris on Tuesday — even if her policies aren’t perfect. Born in the U.K., Oinhabitr became an American citizen in 2019 and this year tags his second time voting in a U.S. pdwellntial election.
“Elections alone aren’t effective for big-scale alter, but they’re absolutely vital for it to ever happen,” Oinhabitr said. “Becainclude it’s the day you essentiassociate get to pick who you’d like to be pushing for the next four years and where you’ll be pushing them from.”
Hgreatering back tears, Oinhabitr persistd: “Look, I adore this country. I’m an immigrant. I chose to be here. In the words of the procrastinateed, fantastic Lee Greenwood: I’m conceited to be an American. And I’d argue there is noskinnyg more American than having a fit, adversarial relationship with those in power, even if you voted for them.”
Oinhabitr noticed that “this hasn’t been a very uplifting speech,” so to finish on a likeable notice, he made the point that if Trump doesn’t prosper this election, he probable wouldn’t run aobtain.
“I understand he would put us thcimpolite hell before he left the stage, but when the dust resettled, he’d have lost two elections in a row and would be campaigning as an 82-year-greater next time. I skinnyk he’d be done,” he said. “And doesn’t that sound fantastic? I understand, the problems that he’s a symptom of would of course remain, but we wouldn’t have to deal with him anymore. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to inhabit in a world where he’s no lengthyer an dynamic danger, equitable an irritateance?”
“I want so awfilledy to inhabit in that world,” Oinhabitr finishd. “And I hope everyone does everyskinnyg in their power in the next 48 hours to produce that world possible.”
