Tim Walz joined Jon Stewart on The Daily Show tonight. With two weeks until the election, Walz talked policy and swing voters.
In 2016, people who knew nothing about comedy would say things like, “Comedy is going to be great under Trump.” Well, it didn’t work out like that, and nothing proves it more than the lack of theatrically released comedies in the last decade. But then a weekend like this comes along, and Donald Trump spends two days, Jon Stewart reminds us just how maddening this kind of crap can be.
“To all the Republican officials who seem very confident that Trump isn’t being serious when talking about extreme measure to defeat his enemies, he’s already tried it,” Stewart said. “Remember that day he tried to overthrow the government, and I know it didn’t work but attempted murder isn’t the same thing as never tried murder.”
“Somehow Trump’s absurdity renders him benign. We dismiss his threats because of how much fun he has expounding on the length, width, and girth of Arnold Palmer’s cock.”-inspired ending, the meat of this episode was Stewart’s interview with Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz.
For his part, Walz brought that familiar Minnesota nice we’ve been enjoying since he burst onto the national scene by calling the Republicans obsessedOh, the halcyon days of three months ago, when all seemed possible, and Donald Trump gently swaying to “Ava Maria” for 35 minutes sounded like a fever dream from another dimension. As one could surmise, the interview was cordial. Stewart wasn’t throwing any fastballs—though, it seemed like Walz could’ve knocked a few dingers.
“I think that’s the one thing when you talk to people about their aspirations; they want good jobs, they want to have safe communities, they want to have good schools,” Walz said. “They’re talking about voucherization of schools, where are you going to find a private school in a town of 400, like where I grew up?”Ariana Grande big leagued Elvira and lived to apologize
