John Oliver Drags Meghan McCain: ‘The Most Embarrassing Child of a Prominent Political Figure’
On Sunday evening, John Oliver dedicated the opening portion of Last Week Tonight to the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest—specifically, to the Icelandic group Hatari. Though the eye-catching BDSM-themed outfit placed 10th overall with their rendition of “Hatrið mun sigra,” they managed to attract headlines (and the ire of their Israeli hosts) for showcasing Palestinian flags during their performance.
And if that weren’t enough, one of its members is the son of the Icelandic ambassador to the U.K.
“You may be thinking that’s the most embarrassing child of a prominent political figure you’ve ever seen, but let me remind you of the continued existence of Meghan McCain!” exclaimed John Oliver, before trolling her husband Ben Domenech, publisher of the far-right rag The Federalist.
