John Oliver mocked Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Sunday over how he responded to a Michigan reporter’s joyous question at a campaign event.

He continued, “I mean, look, I think if you watch, if you watch a full speech that I give, I actually, I’m having a good time out here and I’m enjoying this. But, look, sometimes you got to take the good with the bad. And right now, I am angry about what Kamala Harris has done to this country and done to the American southern border.”
