'You almost have to admire his dedication to being such a f— idiot,' John Oliver said about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on 'Last Week Tonight.'
John Oliver delivered a blistering takedown of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a segment of “Last Week Tonight” that has been making the rounds on social media.
During Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” the TV host ripped apart DeSantis’ conservative political views and actions — such as denying minors gender-affirming care, signing a “15-week abortion ban into law,” banning books in schools and criminalizing “those deemed rioters at demonstrations” — while denouncing him as “a petty autocrat and a bully ... with no interest in hearing dissent.”
“When you take all of this together — the books being removed, the inane proclamations to shame trans athletes, the sloppy attempts to criminalize protests — and you combine it with everything else — from the support for restrictive abortion bans to the efforts to stop gender-affirming care — it really begins to feel like the freest state in America is only free to the extent that anyone wants to behave exactly the way that Ron DeSantis thinks they should,” Oliver said.
