AceShowbiz - In the Sunday, October 27 episode of "Last Week Tonight", John Oliver targeted both Donald Trump and the recent E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's in his opening segment.
The outbreak, initially believed to be caused by Quarter Pounders, was later traced to slivered onions. McDonald's has since removed Quarter Pounders without onions from its menu.
During the show, Oliver quipped, "An E. coli outbreak was tied to McDonald's but was still somehow the second most revolting thing inside of one this week," referring to a photo of Trump standing at the drive-through window.
Trump visited a McDonald's in suburban Philadelphia last Sunday, working the fry station and answering questions through the window. McDonald's stated it doesn't endorse candidates, but the restaurant's owner reached out after learning of Trump's request.
Oliver also took aim at Trump's immigration policies, urging viewers to support Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. He also criticized the use of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" at citizenship ceremonies, replacing it with a patriotic song sung by Will Ferrell.
