On Sunday's Last Week Tonight John Oliver took a closer look at the on-going debate surrounding southern monuments and the confederate flag.

In the past couple of months, many confederate statues were taken down which led to violent protests in Charlottesville and other southern states.

Oliver dismantled the pro-statue stances with historical facts and offers his very own solution...better (possibly live) monuments.
