U.S. election week has been long, hectic, and filled with highs and lows — and amid the tension of the lengthy vote count, Donald Trump’s baseless claims of fraud, and the fact America will soon be getting a brand new president in Joe Biden, it’s more than possible that you may have missed a few things along the way.
Here to break everything down with a handy recap is John Oliver. In the video above, the Last Week Tonight host debunks the Trump campaign’s evidence-free claims of a ‘stolen’ election before going on to hint at a creative contribution people could make to the very real (and already heavily-pranked) voter fraud hotline that Trump’s team has set up.
“The Trump campaign also set up this website and phone number, where they invited people to submit evidence of voter fraud,” Oliver explains in the clip. “Meaning that if you, say, wanted to supply them with an incident that you found suspicious, you could do that.
“You still can, actually — you can go to this address and send them whatever evidence you want. There’s even an option to add photographic proof, and, quick fun fact here (I don’t know why I’m even mentioning this) a political term for election shenanigans is ‘rats fucking.’ So if you, say, happened to have any access to images of Pennsylvania-based rats fucking, it’s frankly your patriotic duty to send them to the Trump campaign, straight away.”
We anticipate a long week for the person manning that hotline’s inbox.
