The Daily Show host Jon Stewart tore into congressional Democrats on Monday over their shared “cope” over Vice President Kamala Harris’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election.
“Donald Trump is returning to power and so once again it is time to saddle up La Résistance,” said Stewart during a monologue. “Because, if you remember, before Trump won the election, Democrats were clear-eyed about the stakes.”
Stewart then played a compilation of congressional Democrats comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and branding him “a threat to Democracy” who could cause “irreversible” damage to the country.
“I assume now that the Democrats have lost to the greatest threat we’ve ever faced as a nation that they will be forthright in acknowledging, one, the Democrats’ role in this catastrophic defeat and, two, the bleak hellscape we now face,” he continued, before playing clips of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) trying to put a positive spin on the results of the election with boasts that the Democrats managed to “flip three House seats.”
