John Oliver Says Trump Won’t Accept Election Loss: ‘If You’re Not Concerned, You Haven’t Been Watching’


Comedian John Oliver warned viewers at the Emmy Awards that Donald Trump might once again refuse to accept an election loss in November.

Walking the red carpet of the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, comedian John Oliver told Variety ‘s Marc Malkin that Donald Trump likely would not accept a loss in this year’s upcoming election. “If you’re thinking: ‘OK, Trump’s making big, scary promises, but he did that in 2016 too and he broke a lot of them,’ that is true,” Oliver said on an episode of “Last Week Tonight.” “Though, he did also go on to do a lot of damage…he blew up the Iran nuclear deal, withdrew us from the Paris climate agreement, slashed access to food stamps and gave a huge tax cut to corporations, he separated children from their families at the borders, suggested curing COVID with bleach…” Oliver emphasized the tension of the November election given Trump’s response the last time he lost the presidential race back in 2020.
