Jon Stewart on GOP’s Response to Kamala Harris Candidacy: “Come On Guys”

As a longtime fan of The Daily Show and Jon Stewart, I was thrilled to see him back on my screen, addressing the latest political developments with his signature wit and insight. It’s no secret that I hold Jon in high regard for his ability to dissect complex issues and expose the absurdity of political rhetoric with humor and intelligence.


On Monday evening, during a recent break from hosting “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart commented on Kamala Harris‘ newly initiated presidential campaign. This discussion came after President Biden declared that he would not be running for re-election the previous week.

“Stewart remarked, ‘The past is the past.’ You’ll have to change tactics and adjust accordingly. You’ve relied heavily on ‘Crooked Joe’ and ‘Sleepy Joe.’ Now, you must prepare for a fresh approach.”

Later, Stewart played a series of clips featuring Republican commentators accusing Harris of being hostile towards Jews. In response, the Jewish comedian humorously remarked: “It seems we’re having a tough time these days. Frankly, I’m not even certain how fond we are of ourselves.”

He emphasized that the statement held minimal credibility, considering Douglas Emhoff, Kamala Harris’ spouse, is of Jewish faith.

Later on, the show featured conflicting video excerpts from diverse Republican figures and commentators criticizing Harris for being overly lenient and excessively harsh in her approach to crime.

“People, we open in three months!” Stewart said. “You’re flailing. Dig deep.”

In other places, Stewart additionally tackled allegations that Harris climbed her way to success through sexual favoritism by having affairs with fellow politicians. To this, the comedian retorted: “Joe Biden and Donald Trump figuratively slept their way to the top,” alluding to instances where both men were found to have dozed off during meetings.

Towards the close of his lengthy speech, the speaker criticized certain racist remarks directed at Kamala Harris, a biracial woman of Indian and Jamaican descent, made by some Republican figures.

“Stewart made a mocking comment, saying ‘One person with two distinct racial backgrounds.’ If these individuals were exposed to a Pizza Hut and Taco Bell together, they might be taken aback or confused,” is one way to paraphrase the original statement.
