Jon Stewart skewers Democrats over DNC hypocrisy, omission of Palestinian speakers

August 25, 2024 | | Print Article

Comedian Jon Stewart skewered Democrats for the rampant hypocrisy that was on display at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

On Friday’s edition of “The Daily Show,” the leftist funnyman pounced after the four-day orgy of lies and Trump hate that culminated with the crowning of Kamala Harris as the party’s official nominee wrapped up.

Stewart jabbed Democrats over the “diverse and often contradictory” messaging from the event that had both union leaders and CEOs along with “Democratic party icons” and “lifelong Republicans,” referring to whiny Trump-hating former Illinois congressman Adam Kinzinger.

“They had a guy yelling, ‘screw the billionaires,’ followed immediately by, a very happy billionaire,” he said, showing a side-by-side picture of crypto communist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders and morbidly obese Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker of the filthy rich Pritzker family.

“It’s all okay if it’s our billionaire,” Stewart joked as the audience roared with laughter. “I don’t like billionaires, but he’s alright.”

“They had guys making fun of people for going to Yale,” he said, showing a picture of Democrat vice presidential nominee “Tampon Tim” Walz, “And a bunch of people who went to Yale,” displaying an image of speakers who were graduates of the elite Ivy League university, including Hillary Clinton.

“The Democrats had people who prosecuted sexual predators, And-” he said, showing a pic of Harris before adding another image of former President Bill Clinton, a serial lecher and close friend of the fiendish pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Stewart then displayed a picture of the diverse array of speakers, “They had black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, gay Americans, Jewish Americans, Palestinian Americ – oh,” showing a graphic reading “page not found” to highlight the notable exclusion of speakers from the party’s virulently anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas base.

“Oh, to be fair, it was only four nights, eight hours a night,” he said. “Really it’s best not to think about the consequences of our actions over there, especially given the theme of the week,” Stewart then showed video of a parade of speakers parroting the word “joy” which has been masterfully used to explain away Kamala’s uncontrollable cackling to low-information voters.

The comic wasn’t the only one to lament the exclusion of Palestinians from the big stage at a time when the lack of a ceasefire in Gaza remains a very prickly issue for Democrats, especially with Michigan Muslims.

One of them, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) described the missing Palestinians by using the R-word that Democrats exclusively reserve for Republicans, especially former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters.

The Dearborn bomb thrower also shared a clip of Stewart on X.

Tlaib’s fellow “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) who was just beaten to a pulp by her AIPAC-backed primary opponent also bemoaned the convention organizers’ decision to exclude pro-Hamas voices.

As did Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) who was also routed in his primary as voters rejected his anti-Israel rhetoric.

The honeymoon for Harris may soon be over but it never really started for Michigan Muslims who may now be rid of “Genocide Joe” but are unimpressed with “Kamalot” and the party’s national charade and still may not show up in November.
