Oliver Flies The Rainbow Flag Of Freedom And Slams Texas GOP ‘Determined To Abort’ Epic Filibuster
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/john-oliver-flies-the-rainbow-flag-of-freedom-and-slams-texas-gop-determined-to-abort-epic-filibuster/
John Oliver opened Wednesday night’s Daily Show celebrating the Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage and the amazing 13-hour filibuster by Texas state senator Wendy Davis.
