John Oliver pried the gun from Charlton Heston's cold dead hands -- then he ripped the NRA to shreds
HBO host John Oliver noted that Americans are reminded daily that Donald Trump is doing the bare minimum at being a president. This week, according to the “Last Week Tonight” host, Trump proved he “was doing the bare minimum at being a f*cking person.”
Even Trump’s staff confessed that the president’s visits to Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas didn’t go well after their shootings. Oliver showed the video where Trump thought it was a good idea to brag about his crowd size to shooting survivors.
“Just consider the thought process,” Oliver began. “He visited a hospital, filled with victims of a mass shooting and said to himself, ‘Remember that other time when I was the center of attention, and it was better?’ And then he thought, ‘Do you think anyone else remembers that?’ Then he thought, ‘I should remind them, right?’ Then he thought, ‘Great idea!’ Then he thought, ‘Thank you!’ Then he thought, ‘Ivanka.’ Then he thought, ‘No time!’ And then he said it, and he was happy with how it sounded.”

Oliver took it as another opportunity to go after the NRA, not for their response to the shooting, but for being a complete and total disaster. He recalled former NRA president Charlton Heston, who came to an NRA convention saying that people can take his gun when they pry it from his “cold dead hands.”
“Well, I did,” Oliver said, holding up an old shotgun with a skeleton’s hand attached.
