Jon Stewart mocks Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton and Democrats for
hypocrisy at DNC
Comedian Jon Stewart called out Sen. Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton and
other major Democratic figures for hypocrisy at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Comedian Jon Stewart this week slammed Sen. Bernie Sanders, Bill Clinton
and other major Democratic figures for hypocrisy at the Democratic
National Convention (DNC).

"At their convention, they had union leaders and C.E.O.s. They had
Democratic Party icons and lifelong Republicans. They had a guy yelling, ‘Screw the billionaires!’ followed immediately by a very happy billionaire," Stewart said, showing a picture of Sen. Sanders followed
shortly by a picture of Illinois Governor and billionaire J.B. Pritzker.

Sanders and former President Bill Clinton both spoke at the DNC this
week to support Vice President Harris' ascendancy to the nominee and
leader of her party.

"But credit where credit is due: the Democrats, on short notice,
exploited their newfound momentum and enthusiasm with a display of the
breadth and width of this diverse, often contradictory party of
Roosevelt," Stewart said.

Stewart mocked Democrats, saying that "it's all okay if it’s our
billionaire. I don’t like billionaires, but he’s all right.’"

The comedian also poked fun at Democrats speaking out against Yale Law
graduate JD Vance when multiple Yale alumni, including Hillary Clinton
and Sen. Amy Klobuchar.

Stewart also contrasted Harris with Bill Clinton, suggesting that Harris "prosecuted sexual predators" and paused as Bill Clinton's face appeared on-screen to audience laughter.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Clinton Foundation for comment on
the joke, but did not immediately hear back.

5 OVER-THE-TOP DNC MEDIA MOMENTS, FROM COINING THE TERM 'KAMALA HARRIS DEMOCRATS' TO COMPARING OBAMA AND JESUS

Multiple media figures gushed over Harris and DNC speakers this past week.

MSNBC Host Alex Wagner, one of many media figures with direct ties to
the Democratic Party as the wife of former Obama White House chef Sam
Kass, proclaimed on Tuesday that Trump and his "White patriarchy" MAGA supporters were scared of the "multicultural" future represented by
former President Obama and Kamala Harris.

CNN anchor Dana Bash raised eyebrows Wednesday when she said that
Democrats are working to win the support of men who prefer speakers such
as Gov. Tim Walz and second gentleman Doug Emhoff to wrestling icon Hulk
Hogan, who famously tore off his shirt to announce support for Trump at
last month's Republican National Convention.

Democrats want Americans to pay taxes on unrealized gains on investments
such as your 401k, IRAs, and more. This will take the middle class out
of the investment arena, deduce overall investments, and stifle
progress. But the AOC School of Economics says money grows on trees,
which is why banks hav...

Right and it’s become our only option to save for retirement in any meaningful way. Companies don’t pay pensions anymore. Only government
jobs do that. They literally want to DESTROY the middle class.

My property value has increased significantly, retired and house is paid
off. This would mean all equity in my home would be taxable. Taking a
bite out of my investment that would either pay for my long term care
when sold or whatever inheritance is for my family when I die. Plus
they want to rei...

The Harris tax plan would:

Raise the corporate tax from 21% to 28%

Quadruple the tax on stock buybacks from 1% to 4%

Double the global minimum tax from 10% to 20%

Raise the top Income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%

If it doesn't raise taxes and increase government revenues, the
democrats wouldn't be promoting it. They're all about making government
richer and bigger at the expense of the people.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Lather, rinse, repeat...and so on, until nobody

The liberals trivialize the importance of being truthful when
campaigning. The fact that Walz fibbed about the war in one if his first statements in his new role says a lot about his character. I can't trust someone who fabricates military stories to be one heartbeat away from
the presidency. After...

Walz lies about everything. He lied about the infertility process they
went through, he lied about his DUI, they tried to make it sound like he
was a coach (as in head coach) while being a volunteer coach - he is
apparently insecure enough to feel like he has to embellish his life
story to make hi...

I don't think they trivialize truthfulness, they practice classic
Freudian projection in the other direction with all sorts of seriousness.
