Jack Warner received the message John Oliver sent to him via Trinidadian television, but the former FIFA vice president made the mistake of responding to the comedian.
Warner hit back at Oliver on Thursday, airing a video response to the “Last Week Tonight” host’s takedown titled “The Mittens of Disapproval Are On.” Warner bought time on Trinidad’s TV6 — the same channel that aired Oliver’s message — to deliver a forceful, music-backed reply to someone he calls a “comedian fool.”
Many a public feud, particularly rap beefs, have started this way. There’s no telling where Warner vs. Oliver will end.
Warner currently is facing extradition to the United States on charges relating to the FIFA bribery and corruption scandal, which rocked the soccer world and brought down president Sepp Blatter.
