'Daily Show' Tears Apart 'Shameful' New Election Development

LOADINGERROR LOADING“Daily Show” host Michael Kosta on Thursday broke down how the stakes just got even higher in the 2024 election.That’s because betting on congressional elections may be legal, thanks to a federal appeals court ruling on Wednesday.The decision has heightened concerns about the impact of betting on election integrity.Advertisement “This is shameful.

Why are we betting on congressional races when this country could collapse into a fascist dictatorship?” Kosta asked.“Because that’s what I want to bet on! You know, if I could parlay a fascist takeover with the over-under on the Jets game? Ooh, baby, I’m in the money, I’m in the rain!”“This is the last thing American democracy needed,” he went on.

”‘Hey, honey, how’d the voting go?’ ‘You know, I stood in line for hours, then when I finally got to the booth, Tony ‘The Shark Fin’ Gambino threatened to shank me if my vote doesn’t help him cover the spread.’”Support Free JournalismConsider supporting HuffPost starting at $2 to help us provide free, quality journalism that puts people first.Can't afford to contribute?
