John Oliver has made Mike Pence's rabbit the star of a gay children's book

Mike Pence may have his fans, but John Oliver is most definitely not one of them. Not at all.

In the 20-minute rant above, Oliver breaks down some of the shadier aspects of the US Vice President's past -- including his continuing friendship with Dr James Dobson, an outspoken believer that "homosexuality is preventable and treatable".

Oliver ties up the segment by talking about Pence's upcoming children's book featuring his pet rabbit, Marlon Bundo.

Turns out Pence isn't the only one bringing out a children's book, though. Oliver finishes by announcing that Last Week Tonight has released their own book, A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo -- a kids' book about two male rabbits who meet and fall in love.

As of Monday, Oliver's book is the #1 bestseller on Amazon and Pence's ranks 15th, reports CNN.

All proceeds go to The Trevor Project and AIDs United. There's even an audiobook featuring Jim Parson and Ru Paul.

We know which Bundo book we'll be getting.

This article has been updated with information about both books' performances on Amazon.
