John Oliver recently took a jab at the highly acclaimed director and actor Mel Gibson, following his gun rights controversy. In recent days a high-ranking Justice Department attorney, Liz Oyer was seemingly let go of her role as she opposed the restoration of the Braveheart actor’s gun rights.
For those who do not know, Mel Gibson lost these rights after an event of domestic violence misdemeanor conviction. The highly acclaimed host took this opportunity and turned it into his act.
Beginning with his recent episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver addressed Mel Gibson as the actor “best known for his work in screaming,” and went on to explain that his Wikipedia section is filled with details on several controversies.
While the host asked the viewers to check out The Passion of Christ director’s Wikipedia page, Oliver stressed that one should also go through the Wikipedia page of the actor’s father.
Afterward, John Oliver jokingly commented on Mel Gibson’s dad, Hutton Peter Gibson, touching upon the topics previously discussed in the article.
Hutton Peter Gibson happened to be an American conspiracy theorist, holocaust denier, and also a well-known writer of sedevacantism. For those unversed, sedevacantism is the belief that since 1958, the world has not had a valid pope.
Further details of Mel Gibson’s father mention that he was a World War II veteran and the grand champion of Jeopardy! 1968. Hutton Peter Gibson was a father of 11 children one of whom happens to be the Lethal Weapon actor.
In a jovial manner, John Oliver commented, “What an interesting individual! It’s almost unbelievable to think that being associated with Mel Gibson isn’t your most problematic aspect due to all those terrible opinions you hold.
It was back in 2011 when Mel Gibson’s rights to carry a firearm were revoked, following a domestic violence misdemeanor conviction, with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
