on a scale of 1 to john oliver commissioning a competing picture book about mike pence’s rabbit with a storyline about same sex marriage and democracy and tolerance, releasing that book a day before the release of mike pence’s picture book, and then donating proceeds from the book to the trevor project and aids united, how (righteously) petty are you

Piers Morgan is a complete & total piece of shit. If you’re a John Oliver fan, or even just respect John & what he does for American then please go tweet this asshole. I normally am not like this, but John’s show last night meant a lot to me as an American (his show as a whole does but last night was special). John Oliver is an immigrant who has helped better the US, & deserves respect for himself, his family, his job, & his country which is United States of America.

America was founded by immigrants, & built by immigrants like John & so many others.

So, tweet Piers & tell him to fuck off.

For those of you who aren’t British people from Birmingham and Liverpool are considered to be very low class and unintelligent.

The comment about John’s liverpudlian parents and the fact he was born in the Midlands and has a Birmingham accent are all incredibly blatant insults.

He’s calling him common and low class and disgusting purely because of his birth and class status.

Just in case anyone wants to know what bigotry looks like in the UK, this is a pretty good example. It’s all dog whistle politics over here.
