John Oliver, host of “Last Week Tonight” and a comedian, is proposing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas $1 million annually in exchange for his resignation.
During the eleventh season premiere of his weekly program on Sunday, Oliver Scrutinized the conservative justice Thomas, claiming that he had “demonstrably worsened the lives of Americans” and offering him a brand new luxury recreational vehicle in exchange for his resignation from the high court.
“Lot on your plate right now. From stripping away women’s rights to hearing Jan. 6 cases, you definitely shouldn’t be hearing two potentially helping rollback decades of federal regulations,” Oliver said.
“So that’s the offer. $1 million a year, Clarence. And a brand new condo on wheels. And all you have to do in return is sign the contract and get the f‑‑‑ off the Supreme Court. Talk it over with your totally best friend in the whole world. Because the clock starts now. Thirty days, Clarence … Let’s do this!” he continued.
I know @iamjohnoliver is not used to this country but what he’s doing is a federal crime, 18 U.S. Code § 201. https://t.co/AMEqd7rdOM

“I think you’re thinking, what would my friend say if I take this offer? Will they judge me as they sit in their boardrooms and mega yachts and Hitler shrines? Will they still treat me to luxury vacations and sing songs about me off their phones? Well, that’s the beauty of friendship, Clarence. If they’re real friends, they’ll love you no matter what your job is. So I guess this might be the perfect way to find out who your real friends actually are. ” Oliver continued.
