As a high-ranking, hyperbolic senator made the rounds attempting attacks on the president fulfilling campaign promises, one Comedy Central commentator was entirely serious in asking that he stop.

Through alternative media and the digital town square of X, exposing the theater of politics has accelerated and expanded opportunities to clamp down on attempts to fearmonger. It has also proven how out of touch the Democratic Party is, leading “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart to beg members to put a leash on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Sharing a clip from the New York lawmaker’s recent press conference where he held up a Corona and avocado in an attempt to demean President Donald Trump’s tariff threats against Mexico, which proved effective mere hours later, Stewart blew up at both the congressman and his peers.
“Your response to the trade war is to f*cking tell us guacamole is made of avocados?” the host said incredulously.

Turning to another camera for an aside, he directed his next remarks to the party as he asked, “Democrats, can you please stop f*cking trotting Schumer out there every time Trump traverses into the unreal? He’s not good at this.”
“What is the decision-making process here? ‘Hey, who should we get out there to effectively battle one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history? Oh, I don’t know, how about Schumer? He’s uninteresting, but at least he’s monotone. Oh wait, and Chuck, before you go out there, you look too young! Put on these readers and lower them on your nose. Perfect!'” snarked Stewart. “Honestly, listening to Chuck Schumer speak on almost any topic makes me want to bomb Canada.”
Of course, before the commentator could get on the air, Schumer held another press conference adding to more shaming as the establishment made concerted efforts to shield against the exposure of government waste at the Treasury Department, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and other agencies.
“An unelected, shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government,” contended Schumer flanked by other senators as he attempted to demonize the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency and its head Elon Musk.
“If DOGE attacks USAID today, then you can be sure they’ll move on to another target tomorrow. Who knows, maybe it’ll be the Postal Service or the IRS or even the Social Security Administration?” Schumer said.
Meanwhile, conservative activist Robby Starbuck shared that David A. Lebryk, the fiscal assistant secretary who briefly served as acting secretary of the Treasury Department, had resigned rather than comply with audit requests from DOGE.
As he asked, “Why would career bureaucrats fear an audit by @elonmusk and @doge to see where we can save money?” Musk reacted, “The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.”

Elsewhere, the DOGE leader reacted directly to Schumer’s insistence that Congress step in and obstruct the efforts by remarking, “Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that @DOGE is doing work that really matters. This is the one shot the American people have to defeat BUREAUcracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore DEMOcracy, rule of the people. We’re never going to get another chance like this. It’s now or never. Your support is crucial to the success of the revolution of the people.”
