John Oliver Roasts Ron DeSantis’ Disturbing Dating Tactic
Just about two hours after winning their sixth WGA Award for Best Comedy/Variety Talk Series, John Oliver and his talented team of writers proved their mettle by sharing one of the most bizarre bullet points in the life of Ron DeSantis—A.K.A. “Meatball Ron,” a nickname the Last Week Tonight host is totally on board with, by the way.
The early part of the Florida governor’s backstory is fairly by-the-numbers: He grew up in the Sunshine State, where he excelled at baseball and even made it to the Little League World Series. He attended Yale as an undergrad, then went on to Harvard Law School and eventually joined the Navy in an attorney capacity.
While he married his wife Casey in 2009, one can safely presume that he had dated other women over the years, but they must not all have been sticklers for speaking words real good. Because DeSantis developed what Oliver described as “the most bizarre dating tactic I have ever heard” in order to weed out the ladies who wouldn’t be wife material for the politician formerly known as Ron DeSanctimonious .(For the record: “Tiny D” is apparently Donald Trump’s newest nickname for his presumed opponent.)
