John Oliver Exposes Shameful GOP Candidate in Local Politics

John Oliver criticizes GOP mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson in Franklin, Tennessee, for her behavior, which he deems "entirely emblematic of Republican politics." Hanson, who has branded herself as a hardcore MAGA candidate, has attempted to shut down Pride and Juneteenth celebrations, received support from a white nationalist group, and faced allegations of lying about a social media photo and foreseeing a school shooting. Despite her numerous scandals, there is a real chance she could still win the election, highlighting the grip of far-right Republicans on the party.
