Jon Stewart addressed Donald Trump's MSG rally and his deportation plans on a new episode of 'The Daily Show.'
, noting that each presidential candidate is now making their “closing arguments.” That means there is one more week for the host to decide who he’s going to vote for this year.The late-night host played a clip of highlights from the rally, including references to Harris and her “pimp handlers” and Tucker Carlson hysterically laughing. “I will never not be charmed by his girlish laugh,” Stewart quipped.
He added, “And let me just say: How dare they desecrate the stage that the Piano Man has consecrated? How dare you! Listen to me: Do you know how many ‘Scenes From an Italian Restaurant’ he’s going to have to play to exorcise the demons that were on that stage?” As for comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” Stewart said the guy was “just doing what he does.” He played a clip of Hinchcliffe telling racist and anti-Semitic jokes at the Tim Brady roast. “There’s something wrong with me,” Stewart said, laughing. “I find that guy very funny… I mean, bringing him to a rally and not having him do roast jokes? That’s be like bringing Beyoncé to a rally and not having—oh.
Stewart noted that Trump’s rally guests brought “a real dark, apocalyptic version of America to the stage” before Trump himself came out with a similar tone, claiming he would invoke “mass deportations” on day one in office. “Who the fuck told Donald Trump about the Alien Enemies Act of 1798?” Stewart said. “He’s not a history buff, as we remember from his dissertation on Robert E. Lee’s role in the critical Civil War battle of Gettysburg.
“It doesn’t matter because for non-old white people, for people of color, and women, and queer people, it’s gonna be a completely different story, all right?” she said. “Now, let me give you some advice: Look, Jon, I know you’re exhausted. Hell, I’m exhausted. Everybody’s exhausted. Anger and disappointment in our political discourse is exhausting, but it’s easy to throw up our hands and be like, ‘Fine! Fuck it! I’m tired. Go ahead and take people’s rights.
