I don't generally get to watch Last Week Tonight live, but I did get a chance early Monday morning via HBO Go.
There was a cold open segment to start the show this Sunday, where John Oliver talked about the link between Trump's racist rhetoric and how it emboldens behavior like the mass shootings we saw this weekend.
I didn't think it was particularly insightful or funny or anything, but as usual it was good to see him and his team use their platform to highlight a problem that many people refuse to acknowledge.
Anyway, a friend didn't know if I had seen it, sent me a link to this CNN article about it and I thought I'd pull up the episode on my phone via HBO Go and show it to her.
It's not there anymore. It isn't anywhere official from HBO that I can find anymore. I ended up finding a link from Reddit to the clip, apparently taken from some torrent rip on some file sharing site.
The question remains though, why was it taken down? Maybe it was unintentional, but it's certainly weird and I guess I'm wondering if I'm crazy and maybe someone else does have it in their region?
