Comedian Jon Stewart this week slammed Sen. Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton and other major Democratic figures for hypocrisy at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

"At their convention, they had union leaders and C.E.O.s. They had Democratic Party icons and lifelong Republicans. They had a guy yelling, ‘Screw the billionaires!’ followed immediately by a very happy billionaire," Stewart said, showing a picture of Sen. Sanders followed shortly by a picture of Illinois Governor and billionaire J.B. Pritzker.

Sanders and former President Bill Clinton both spoke at the DNC this week to support Vice President Harris' ascendancy to the nominee and leader of her party.

"But credit where credit is due: the Democrats, on short notice, exploited their newfound momentum and enthusiasm with a display of the breadth and width of this diverse, often contradictory party of Roosevelt," Stewart said.

Stewart mocked Democrats, saying that "it's all okay if it’s our billionaire. I don’t like billionaires, but he’s all right.’"

The comedian also poked fun at Democrats speaking out against Yale Law graduate JD Vance when multiple Yale alumni, including Hillary Clinton and Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Stewart also contrasted Harris with Bill Clinton, suggesting that Harris "prosecuted sexual predators" and paused as Bill Clinton's face appeared on-screen to audience laughter.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Clinton Foundation for comment on the joke, but did not immediately hear back.

Of course I understood what you meant, but you need to acknowledge footballers is NOT American vernacular as soccer is not American.
In any case which ‘footballers’ (which not one in one hundred Americans would know or care about) are you referring ?

[KobraKai]

I still think it’s hilarious that Jon Stewart was mothballed, and they dusted off his cobwebs to bring him back into service to influence another election.

The guy is just a piece of hardware to the left, his only purpose to spew propaganda, like a machine.

Of course I understood what you meant, but you need to acknowledge footballers is NOT American vernacular as soccer is not American.

Some woke Democrats who are MLS fans are calling soccer "football".

Then you have Hispanics speaking Spanish referring to soccer as "futbol".

20 years from now, American football will eventually become less popular. Everyone will refer to soccer as "football"? Maybe. Language is always evolving.

“Kaepernick came to mind” what ?

Soccer is as American as tofu.

I, for one, say fu*k ‘futbol’ and the Demoncrats that brought in replacement of Americans

Anyway, parents are not letting their children play football. We'll see more schools unable to maintain their football squads. Soccer will replace football.
