One-time fans who perhaps remember comedian Jon Stewart only taking satirical swipes at conservatives while host of The Daily Show were shocked and aggrieved when he returned to host the program after almost nine years on Monday to take aim at President Joe Biden.
During an “Indecision 2024” segment that anchored the first half of the show, Stewart aired exasperation over Donald Trump and Biden being the oldest-ever candidates for president, breaking a record they themselves set in the 2020 election. (In his usual self-deprecating style, he also took a moment to lament his own age and appearance.) The monologue made room for ridicule of Trump’s most unhinged comments but did not spare his incumbent Democratic opponent, who has lately faced intense questioning on his mental acuity. At one point, Stewart showed Biden — at a press conference to address a Justice Department probe that characterized him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” — mixing up the countries of Mexico and Egypt.
Stewart’s takeaway was that both men were obliged prove their fitness for office. “What’s crazy is thinking that we’re the ones, as voters, who must silence concerns and criticisms,” he said. “It is the candidates’ job to assuage concerns, not the voters’ job not to mention them.” He also said that the danger posed by another Trump term doesn’t excuse Biden from scrutiny but “actually makes him more subject to scrutiny.”

The return of another entertainment industry nitwit, who can only try to criticize Donald Trump by equating him with the corrupt plagiarizing thieving grifter Brainless Joe Biden.
That will be tolerated if and when Biden wins a second term. Then look for them both to be brutally cancelled.
Nor real logic and they love to prove it they are always in the sell me mode.
That was a long Monday.
F Jon Stewart.,
Stewart has been gone nine years. Did anyone miss him?! I never liked Stewart and Noah totally killed the franchise. This desperate move by Comedy Central is just that: desperation.
Bill Maher paved the road for Jon Stewart. It's going to be harder for white liberal elite goons to cancel both Maher and Stewart...
it was a pretty good setup
bash both candidates as old
replace biden
continue to bash Trump on age
Yech, what can you do. Child of the devil.
