To which John Oliver would quickly retort:
” Oh, don’t you worry any about that, John. If you’ve read the headlines recently, you know that Hillary’s husband, Bill Clinton, is already hard at work on that angle.”
Stewart looks at Oliver, aghast. “John,” he questions, sounds like you’re saying that Bill Clinton is a bit of a racist.”
Oliver, deadpan: “No, John, I’m saying the whole Democratic party is racist.

Two years later, when he ran for re-election to his Senate seat, they dumped him from the party altogether.
Stewart, confused: “Well, how does that make the Democrats racist?”
Oliver: “Well, John, if they’re not going to vote for a Jew for President, what makes you think they’ll want a pickaninny like Obama in the White House?”
