HBO John Oliver returned to the “Last Week Tonight” desk after a two-week absence and focused the entirety of Sunday night’s episode on a “worrying trend that’s been on the rise” amongst the Republican Party ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections — they’re apparent affinity for Nazis.
There is Peter Oberacker, a Republican candidate for New York’s 19th congressional district. Back in 2015, Oberacker posted a photo to Facebook on Veterans Day memorializing his late grandfather — in full Wehrmacht uniform — who’d died fighting for Nazi Germany. Oberacker later claimed it was the only photo of his grandfather that he had.
