Jon Stewart Betrays 9/11 Work with Fawning Mamdani Interview

Jon Stewart perfected the clown nose on/off maneuver.

“The Daily Show” host pings between being a “serious” journalist and a grumpy satirist. One minute, he’s cherry-picking Fox News clips to gin up liberal outrage.

The next? He’s skewering the latest headlines with an impish grin.

There’s another side to Stewart, one that has drawn bipartisan support in recent years. And rightly so.

The progressive comic has used his cultural gravitas to support first responders dealing with 9/11’s tragic fallout. He’s been a staunch supporter of the Victim Compensation Fund, even speaking to Congress on the matter.
