Former Minnesota Governor Marries 41-Year-Younger Campaign Assistant, Some People Will Do Anything To Stay On The Assurance Of Their Elder

Just when you thought The politicians could not get any more gooey, you see a story like this. It’s a shame, as many viewed former Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton as one of the good guys. It turns out he’s just one of the those guys.
On Sunday, the 73-year-old politician announced via Facebook that he had taken a wife – a former campaign assistant at the age of 32. In the spirit of getting ahead of the bad press (we’re guessing), Dayton released this statement with the above photo of the newlyweds.
I am delighted to join you in these difficult times with very happy news: after twenty years of celibacy, I am now a married man! Supporters, with whom I share my news, often ask me: “Who is the lucky one?” But that’s a bad question, because I’m the lucky man. My wife, formerly Mrs. Ana Orke, now Ana Dayton, is smart, compassionate, tough, funny and incredibly good at Scrabble!
She is also 41 years my junior.
I know our age difference (I’m 73; she’s 32) will surprise many of you. The truth is that the feelings that developed between Ana and me, given our age difference, also surprised us at first. But as we got to know each other, we realized that the love that binds us is so much deeper and more meaningful than the years between us. You won’t be surprised to learn that politics (besides winning at board games) is important to both of us. Ana worked for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign during the 2008 primaries, and for my gubernatorial campaign in 2010. Then we lost sight of each other, until we met in Minneapolis ago. a few years. The rest is a happy story.
Normally we would say, “He’s old enough to be his father!” but in this case he is old enough to be her grandfather. And before you say, “He’s young at heart,” uh, no, he’s not. This is the same guy who collapsed in the middle of a state-of-the-state speech in 2017. The following year he was hospitalized for almost a month with complications from a back surgery and last summer he slipped and hit his head, again requiring hospitalization. . Basically the guy’s clock is ticking.
While we understand why Dayton would overlook the age gap, it’s harder to understand why his new wife wants to marry such an old geezer. I laugh. She is totally a gold digger. In case you don’t recognize the last name, Dayton is part of the Target family. His clan of 92 was estimated to be worth $ 1.6 billion in 2015. (And from what we’ve heard, the pandemic has been a godsend for Target, so we can only imagine what it’s worth now. .)
But we will not judge. That’s what Twitter is for. Here are a handful of our favorite hot takes.
Age difference of 41, so I searched his net worth on Google. Hmm. https://t.co/V4NzeCQH3P

“I know our age difference (I’m 73, she’s 32) will surprise a lot of you.”
This is hardly surprising given that Mark Dayton’s family is worth over $ 1.5 billion. https://t.co/EpA04UkaBl

All we can say is thank goodness they didn’t share any photos or details from the wedding night. * Shudder *
