Comedian Jon Stewart unleashed his fury on Republicans who are politicizing the devastating California wildfires. He criticized their attempts to tie disaster relief to social policies and mocked their suggestions for fighting fire with water. Stewart contrasted their actions with the international outpouring of support, highlighting the generosity of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
It’s so nice to see American leadership coming together in times of crisis to deny help to Americans in need., Republicans are already testing out new ways to torture vulnerable Americans. We don’t know why they hate Americans so much, but they do, and they want to turn that hatred into “Trump Was Right” hats.
Stewart didn’t start from an angry place. When the show began, he focused on the outpouring of generosity and goodwill from all corners of the globe. Firecrews came in from Mexico and Canada to help California despite the frequent attacks from our future president. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered to send 150 Ukrainian first responders.
“Improvements can be made in leadership, in management, in design, in materials in myriad ways, but sometimes fire fucks a tornado and makes a mockery of human infrastructure and our ability to dictate the terms of our existence on this planet.”
