Jon Stewart: “We are fearful and we are angry, and we are in pain. And when I see Biden past the shtick, I see a guy who knows what loss is, who knows grief. And I think that that kind of grief humbles you.”
Stephen Colbert’s old friend and former co-worker Jon Stewart stopped by last night’s Late Show to promote his new movie Irresistible, and of course the conversation turned to the upcoming presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. “Biden was not my guy — wasn’t even in the top four or five,” Stewart told Colbert, adding that he was more supportive of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren during the primaries.
While he can’t warm up to the “touchy-feely” side of Biden , there’s one quality in Biden that Stewart finds very valuable right now. “We are a country in terrible anguish right now. We are in pain,” he said. “We are fearful and we are angry, and we are in pain. And when I see Biden past the shtick, I see a guy who knows what loss is, who knows grief. And I think that that kind of grief humbles you.
