EXCERPT:
OLIVER: "Okay. First of all, no one having dinner with Tucker Carlson has ever imagined that everything was fine. Most people’s answer to the question 'If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead?' is 'Tucker Carlson dead.' And if you look into why Tucker was caught in that outrage machine, it’s because he publicly called Iraqis semi-literate primitive monkeys, compared women to dogs, and basically said that Warren Jeffs who's serving a life sentence for the sexual assault of his underage brides wasn’t that bad. Now Tucker refused to apologize and all week long they’ve been trending hashtags like #BoycottTuckerCarlson and #FireTuckerCarlson and #TuckerCarlsonF*cksHisRoomba. That one wasn’t technically trending, but I have this weird feeling that it will be in 20 minutes or so. And look, I would argue that tucker is actually a good example of an internet pylon being merited. He’s a public figure, he made his comments publicly, they are appalling, and he’s standing by them. But clearly it’s not always that simple because when misdirected, internet pylons can completely destroy people’s lives. So tonight let’s try and talk about the power of public shaming, because often it is not a famous figure who’s on the receiving end of it. On a seemingly daily basis, ordinary people who did not ask for attention can’t get sucked into the spotlight like this woman did a few years ago."
