Jon Stewart Mocks Fox News On ‘The Daily Show’ For Making The Eclipse About Politics & Immigration


Jon Stewart called out Fox News on The Daily Show for their eclipse coverage with an immigration angle.

“We are 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,” Bill Hemmer said on the cable network after co-host Dana Perino said the eclipse would last about four minutes. The Comedy Central host then questioned if there was anything Fox News couldn’t tie to immigration, mocking the anchors and saying, “This year’s cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.” The late-night show host also had some hits for Marjorie Taylor Green after calling the earthquake in NYC and the eclipse “God sending American strong signs to tell us to repent.”
