Jon Stewart went on an F-bomb-laden rant on Thursday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show podcast as he told conservative critics of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to “look in the mirror, fuck face.” According to Stewart, they are allegedly being hypocrites for not applying their same logic to President Trump amid his recent state dinner with the Saudi crown prince.
Stewart dropped the first of his eight F-bombs when he tried to conflate official foreign policy business with people who support Mamdani politically, “Donald Trump hosted, you know, this was the whole fucking thing. Do you remember the Mamdani, you know, all these right-wing guys are like, ‘How dare he take a picture with an imam? Has he forgotten the lessons in 9/11?’”
Fact-check: It wasn’t just any imam. It was Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, who claimed the FBI and CIA were the real terrorists.
