LOADINGERROR LOADING“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Monday called out the growing number of Republican lawmakers threatening to block emergency aid to California unless they get political concessions in return.Stewart rolled multiple clips of GOP figures saying they want “strings attached” to any federal aid for the Los Angeles area, which has been ravaged by a series of devastating fires.
Advertisement “They don’t deserve anything, to be honest with you, unless they show us they’re going to make some changes,” Sen.Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told Newsmax in one clip.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Stewart fired back, then railed against Tuberville:“Really, senator from Alabama? The state near the bottom in math, reading and test scores? Next time you get hit by a fucking hurricane, why don’t we have a little parent-teacher conference to see that if you got your scores up you would get the money.
Or actually, let’s not do it because you’ll get the money anyway because we’re not fucking psychos.That is psychotic.
There’s something wrong with you.” Stewart noted that some of the very same GOP lawmakers demanding conditions on aid to California had no problem asking for cash when their own states faced natural disasters.Advertisement Then, he took a closer look at Republicans’ complaints ― and systemically dismantled their talking points one by one in the Monday night “Daily Show” monologue: Related the daily showJon StewartTommy TubervilleJimmy Kimmel Showers Trump With Scathing New DescriptionJimmy Kimmel Viciously Burns Eric Trump Over His Dad's 'Heartfelt' Birthday PostSeth Meyers Utterly Shreds Trump For Going Silent On 1 Key Vow Go to HomepageLEAVE A COMMENTSuggest a correction|Submit a tipAdvertisement From Our Partner ...
