In a fiery display of frustration, Jon Stewart took to the airwaves Monday night, unleashing a torrent of criticism towards Democrats for their perceived capitulation in the recent government shutdown saga.
The Senate's passage of a continuing resolution (CR) to reopen the government served as the catalyst for Stewart's expletive-laden tirade.
"By the way, tonights show will be brought to you by: I cant fucking believe it," Stewart declared at the outset of his show. "I cant fucking believe it: For when the I cant believe it Edvard Munch scream emoji doesnt quite convey how much you cannot fucking believe it. According to Breitbart, Stewart's discontent was palpable as he lamented the Democrats' decision to end the shutdown, just days after celebrating significant electoral victories.
The Senate's decision saw seven Democratic senators and an independent align with Republicans to bring the government back to operational status. Stewart's disappointment was evident as he remarked, You had the wind at your back, election victories all over the country, the new Sydney Sweeney movie box office bupkis. Apparently, her new MAGA fanbase didnt show up in droves to see a biopic about a lesbian professional boxer who overcomes domestic violence to live her truth. Who could have seen that coming? Democrats, you sold out the entire shutdown not to get what you wanted but for a promise to not get what you wanted later.
Drawing a parallel to the New York Giants' recent loss to the Chicago Bears, Stewart likened the Democrats' actions to a sports team squandering a lead. This is a world-class collapse by Democrats, he stated. It would be like being up 10 points with three minutes left to go in a game and still finding a way to miraculously lose it for the fourth time in just one month.
Stewart's critique extended to the leadership style of older Democrats, questioning their willingness to relinquish control. How are we being ruled by the only old people who dont stubbornly cling to shit whether its working or not? Thats the whole point of being an old person. What kind of an old person are you? Well, maybe it is time to give up my drivers license.
The Senate's approval of the funding package marked the conclusion of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The vote, which passed with a 60-40 margin, saw a notable defection of Democrats and an independent siding with Republicans.
In the aftermath, some Democrats have called for Chuck Schumer's resignation, reflecting the internal discord within the party.
