John Oliver returns, endorses RuPaul for president<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is with an uncomfortable sense of relief that John Oliver is back\u00a0on there air \u2014 we\u2019re going to need him now more than ever to hold his ever-so-articulate\u00a0mirror up to reality.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s also appropriate that he would take a moment out of the season four premiere of\u00a0Last Week Tonight<\/em> to make a political prediction\u00a0we can really get behind.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe notion that our leaders should be able to pass on mistruths with impunity should be alarming to absolutely everybody, regardless of politics,\u201d he said. \u201cRepublicans should badly want our sense of objective reality to remain intact, just in case the Democrats ever find their own appealing reality star to win back the White House. RuPaul<\/a>, for instance. Make America fierce again. #MakeAmericaFierceAgain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

OK, so maybe he was using the example to make a fair point about why entertainers aren\u2019t the best candidates for leader of the country, but at this point, Ru would surely be an improvement by any measure.<\/p>\n

Twitter seemed to agree, taking no time to run with the hashtag:<\/p>\n
