John Oliver Responds To Signal Group Chat Leak With His Own Emojis: “Go F— Yourselves, A–holes, Love America”


John Oliver responded to the leaked Signal group chat about the Trump administration's war plans in Yemen with his own series of emojis.

Oliver then honed in on the emojis used in the chat, called “Houthi PC Small Group,” deployed by people like National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, who along with another colleague responded with the various icons: fist, American flag, muscle, flame and prayer hands. Oliver also discussed the mass deportations of Venezuelan migrants allegedly involved in the multinational crime organization Tren de Aragua sent to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison Cecot, with flimsy reasoning accompanying their lack of due process, including having tattoos. Using caged prisoners with shaved heads as a backdrop is a bold choice given, you know, history, and is now the most appalling use of a front-facing video from anyone in this administration, even surpassing the time Cheryl Hines holds body cream in front of a nude RFK Jr. showing off his wet armpits, and I do not say that lightly.”
