Jon Stewart Slams DNC For Denying Stage Time To Palestinian Critics Of Israel War
HuffPost
“Well, to be fair, it was only four nights, eight hours a night,” quipped Stewart about the days-long convention and Democrats' decision to keep Gaza war critics out.
The Democratic National Convention in Chicago concluded Thursday night after four days of musical performances, galvanizing speeches and raucous crowds — and not a single moment of stage time for Palestinian critics of Israel’s U.S.-backed war in Gaza.
For Jon Stewart at “The Daily Show,” that dispiriting fact made for brutally honest comedy.
“They had Black Americans! Hispanic Americans! Asian Americans! Gay Americans! Jewish Americans! Palestinian Ame— oh…,” Stewart said Thursday as his audience groaned in pained agreement. “Well, to be fair, it was only four nights, eight hours a night.”
“But really, it’s best not to think about the consequences of our actions over there, especially given the theme of the week,” he continued before playing a montage of DNC speakers like former President Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey extolling the party’s “joy.”
“Oh, it was joyful — for a convention,” quipped Stewart. “I know what real joy looks like because I’ve watched Oprah on her show. You thought people were happy to see her endorse Kamala Harris, you should see what they do when she gives them lipliner.”
