John Oliver took a week off from breaking down President Donald Trump's latest outrages by focusing his fire on Vice President Mike Pence and his ultra-conservative views.

The Last Week Tonight host began by describing Pence as an "ashen weasel," which he called the "opposite of whatever a silver fox is,” and then ran through his public statements on issues such as abortion rights, homosexuality, same-sex marriage, gays in the military and even women in the military — all of which fell towards the more extreme, conservative end of the spectrum.

Oliver reminded the audience that Pence is the only person Trump can't fire and could become president by default. He joked that former White House advisor Omarosa Manigault Newman was right when she warned fellow contestants in the Celebrity Big Brother house that “as bad as y'all think Trump is, you would be worried about Pence."

Oliver then focused on Pence's views on homosexuality in particular and his continued association with controversial groups that back gay conversion therapy, like James Dobson's Focus on the Family.

It wasn't all negative though, Oliver admitted that "objectively" the Pence family picked a great name for their pet rabbit. Marlon Bundo has become something of a celebrity since he arrived at the White House, and this week saw the release of a children's book of his adventures written by Pence's daughter Charlotte and illustrated by his wife, Karen, titled Marlon Bundo's Day in the Life of the Vice President.

In an effort to blunt the potential success of the Pences' book — but also to highlight the vice president's extreme views — Oliver unexpectedly announced the release of his own book, available immediately via PDF, titled A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo which tells the story of a White House rabbit

Since so many things on the Left seem to be caught up in advancing the homosexual agenda, on accepting and normalizing homosexuality as well as gender identity dementia, to the point that many Leftist now act that you have something fundamentally wrong with you if you don’t support this letter soup madness — unless of course you’re a Muslim — it just doesn’t seem plausible that a Romans 1:18-32 process isn’t going on right before our eyes.

Yep, of you ain’t in with the homos and the entire sex offender gang, there is something bad wrong with you. Think about it, a man that rims another man’s posterior end is calling people nauseated by such actiivity as reprehensible.

churches threw away morals so as to keep homosexuals contributions coming in.””

Very true, but not for the southern Baptists.

The title of Oliver’s book should be “Bunny’s Hazardous Journey Up the Chocolate Channel”. (My husband thought this up, and like Hillary said, he told me to post this.)

If police were allowed to speak of such things, they would tell you how often domestic violence situations involve same sex relationships.

President Trump's selection of Mr Pence has become a public testimony as to how the world still views Christians.

In the public arena we Christians are pretty close to having rocks thrown at us.

Love that our enemies are free to make themselves known, and I’m thinking the church could benefit from some persecution.
