Talk-show host John Oliver has become a hot topic in the town of Danbury, Connecticut, as the town’s officials decide to hit back after his recent remarks about their city.
The Danbury mayor, Mark Boughton, announced in a video uploaded to Facebook, “We are going to rename it the John Oliver Memorial Sewage Plant. Why? Because it’s full of crap. Just like you, John.”
The video was made in response to the new episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, in which the talk show host drew attention to racial discrimination in the process of jury selection and pointed out problems in a few Connecticut towns.
