John Oliver reports on the aftermath of the attempted coup on Turkey, where tens of thousands are imprisoned or detained, and Erdogan blames one man – Fethullah Gulen, John warns,” there is no more dangerous enemy than a man with a horse-proof crotch!” John refers of course to the viral video which captures a horse throwing Erdogan, then pivoting squarely on his family jewels while making an escape.
Erdogan doesn’t appear to be a forgiving man. He put down the attempted coup, imprisoning journalists, diplomats and oddly – airline staff. As John points out, the latter appears to be a personal vendetta. I’m certain now that the horse probably didn’t fare well either.
