Jon Stewart Jokes Election Was Stolen — By More People Voting For Trump: “Ocean’s 74 Million”


'The Daily Show' host Jon Stewart unpacked why Democrats lost, joking the election was stolen — by more people voting for Trump.

Playing a clip of a news broadcast that showed door-to-door efforts by Harris volunteers in crucial swing state Pennsylvania, he joked, “If there’s one thing people love, more than someone appearing randomly at their door once, it’s that same f—ing person coming back two or three times to talk politics. He then played a highlight reel in which Harris supporters and consultants discussed the numerous protections in place to fight against Trump’s fomenting of falsified election results should he lose. Like his colleague John Oliver, though, Stewart urged watchers not to despair, showing a map of Ronald Reagan’s sweep in 1984, in which he won all states but Minnesota.
