Jon Stewart Lectures Democrats Following Trump Victory (VIDEO)
Comedian Jon Stewart lectured his fellow Democrats in his election post-mortem on Monday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, denying claims the party had become “too woke” and insisting instead that Democrats had “acted like Republicans” during the campaign.
Jon Stewart took issue with the prevailing belief among left-wing pundits that Kamala Harris’ loss to President-elect Donald Trump was due in part to Democrats’ becoming too woke.
“I only have one problem with the ‘woke’ theory,” he said. “I just didn’t recall seeing any Democrats running on woke s**t.”

He continued: “They acted like Republicans for the last four months,” citing Kamala Harris’ decision to embrace endorsements from Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, and to campaign with Liz Cheney in the final days of the campaign.
Stewart added: “Democrats were mostly running against an identity that was defined for them based on a couple of months of post-George Floyd, defund the police Instagram posts from four years ago. So the Democrats have got to chill out.” (Read more from “Jon Stewart Lectures Democrats Following Trump Victory” HERE)
