Comedian Jon Stewart is under fire from left-leaning The Daily Show viewers for questioning President Joe Biden’s mental fitness and saying the president can’t recall “very basic things.”
Stewart kicked off his nine-year hiatus from The Daily Show on Monday, noting that “the big news” over the weekend was the damning information in “the Special Counsel report on Joe Biden’s handling of classified information.”
Stewart pointed out that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report noted Biden’s “diminished faculties and faulty memory,” adding, “If charged, Mr. will likely present himself to the jury as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with poor a memory.”
“This guy couldn’t remember stuff during his deposition. Do you understand what that means? He had no ability to recall very basic things under questioning. The footage of the president unable to recall simple facts must have been brutal to watch,” Stewart said.
