Summary

Jon Stewart slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a GOP funding bill after initially opposing it.

On The Daily Show, Stewart mocked Schumer for surrendering leverage without gaining anything in return, joking that he “got some cheese.”

He criticized Schumer’s strategy of waiting for Trump’s popularity to drop, calling it delusional.

Stewart argued Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise. He warned their approval rating is dangerously low, making their approach politically ineffective and out of touch.

        And he’s also repeatedly made statements that he runs as an independent in Vermont because he promised his constituents he would always do so in his first Congressional race. But he’s also said that he considers himself a Democrat, and the party also clearly considers him one seeing as they put him in Senatorial party leadership and gave him chair (when they had the Majority) of one of the most powerful Senate committees: the Senate Budget Committee.

      *Registered Independent, but alligns with Democrats

      Unless you’re fine with admitting a ton of “Democrats” are actually Republicans, despite alligning with Dems.

        The letter pretty clearly says “I am a member of the Democrat Party”.

        Show me a letter from Vichy Democrats that says “I am a member of the Republican Party.” Show me where Republicans put any Democrat in Senate leadership or gave them chair of a Committee.

          Democrats sign bills every day saying they are siding with the Republicans and agree with their policies.
