Jon Stewart Skewers Chuck Schumer, Democrats on ‘The Daily Show’

Jon Stewart took aim at Chuck Schumer and the Democrats for their lack of action against Donald Trump on 'The Daily Show.'

The late-night host listed a series of things Trump has done in the past few days, including deporting hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador and declaring that CNN and MSNBC should be illegal. Stewart focused most of his wrath on Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who essentially paved the way toward the passage of the Republicans’ proposed funding bill despite his party’s opposition. Stewart explained of the difference between the two parties, “These Republicans are committed to a plan born out of an ideological 50- to 60-year project to remake the United States, and classifying it as a fever excuses you from having to propose an alternative and allows you to pretend that this is just an issue of messaging and not merit.
