In the episode of this week of “The Daily Show”, Jon Stewart took a unusual tone as he attacked the conservatives for their response to the Saturday morning murders of the Minnesota legislators, Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman.
“The only positive is that the person who has perpetrated these acts was finally captured. Finally,” said Stewart about the tragedy. “But what really struck me was what seemed to be in everyone’s mind in the midst of this horror.”
Stewart then played a series of news clips featuring several anchors through different networks deliberating the “motif” of the attacker. They quickly pointed out that he was “a supporter of Trump” while being a “named” by the Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz, the ex-companion of former vice-president Kamala Harris.
“I mean no lack of respect,” said Stewart, heating with anger. “I don’t care why this person did it. I don’t care. I don’t care who he is the team. I don’t care if he listens to NPR or Fox News. I don’t give myself a fucking theft. What is my mind in the aftermath of this nonsense.” What are you going to do? “I don’t know, put a ton of mental health funding?
Stewart continued: “We are ready to do things on other problems. We just heard. Why are they attacking Los Angeles right now? Why is he so willing to tear our cities right now? ”
The end -of -evening pundit then showed another series of news clips featuring conservatives discussing immigration problems. They say that “dangerous criminals continue to flood our nation and kill our citizens” and that “” death of an American is “too much”.
Stewart was then launched on an ardent rant, calling hypocrisy in the republican point of view on immigration by reciting a list of mass shootings in the United States.
He said, “One is too numerous. A death. Night Club and the Colorado Springs Night Club and the Little Rock Night Club and the Borderline Bar in Thousand Oaks and the Ned Peppers Bar in Dayton and the Waffle House in Nashville and Virginia Tech and Uva and Msu and UCSB and FSU and Niu and SMC and the Church Sutherland Spring Roads Mall and Lockheed Martin and what are we doing?
Another series of news clips then played, where conservative anchors said that “the Democrats wanted to remove your weapons” and “politicize” mass fire.
Stewart added: “It turns out that, when it comes to mass shots, we are not too much. In fact, a shit is not too much.”
