John Oliver goes after Devin Nunes because it's about damn time

"The most Devin Devin in the history of Devins."

Rep. Devin Nunes may very well be putting our democracy in danger -- but oh well, at least he's creating great cable television.

On Last Week Tonight, John Oliver went after the California Congressman for failing to execute his most basic responsibilities as a government official.

Oliver even went so far as to call him "The most Devin Devin in the history of Devins," which, whoa John. You don't go there.

We may never be able to hold Nunes accountable legally, but at least we can make fun of him on the internet. For that, we should be grateful.
