John Oliver Calls Signalgate a ‘Motif’ for Trump Administration: ‘Unserious People Doing Deeply Stupid Things With Massively Serious Consequences’
John Oliver said the "Signalgate" scandal is a "motif" for Trump's administration: "Deeply unserious people doing deeply stupid things."
John Oliver has weighed in on the “Signalgate” scandal, in which members of President Donald Trump ‘s administration accidentally added The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to their Signal group chat about Yemen attack plans. On the latest episode of “Last Week Tonight,” Oliver said that Trump “brought us another week of chaos” with his team’s handling of the situation, mentioning how defense secretary Pete Hegseth initially denied that the chat was about war plans and national security advisor Michael Waltz said Goldbergs’ contact was “sucked in” to his phone. “The White House tried to do damage control all this week, from playing semantic games of whether they were technically war plans to hinting Goldberg somehow got himself onto the chat, something undercut by literally showing Michael Waltz, the U.S. national security adviser, adding Goldberg in,” Oliver said.
