Jon Stewart Calls Out U.S. Support of Israel Amid Solar Eclipse Frenzy

Jon Stewart took to late night television to point out how certain members of the media and politicians had used the solar eclipse to pontificate on immigration and the wrath of God.

After the moon drifted across the surface of the sun on Monday, its shadow crossing the United States, Mexico and Canada, Jon Stewart took to late night television to point out how certain members of the media and politicians had used the solar eclipse to pontificate on immigration and the wrath of God. The host played a clip of Fox News warning its viewers that the southern border would be “directly in the path of totality” when the “moon covers the sun for nearly four minutes,” with a co-anchor claiming the network had been “told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual and that means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.” When tuning in to correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt touting a “Krispy Kreme solar eclipse donut,” Ronny Chieng pivoted hard and said it was a shame they didn’t make glasses that allow us to look “directly at the horrors occuring around the world, especially in Gaza.”
