Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, kicked off the show by trying to suggest that the shooting at Saturday’s White House Correspondents' Dinner was merely another incident involving guns in America and suggested that the whole thing could have been avoided if President Trump was never invited.
...
Later, Stewart welcomed Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, whom The Daily Show sent to the dinner on Saturday. Triumph was wearing a collar that read “hero” and was part of his and Stewart’s mocking of journalists for their hero complex after the incident, but Stewart also returned to his earlier remarks about guns, “Triumph, I have to tell you, the larger issue—the larger issue we continue to have is gun violence and no effort to pass legislation to stop it.”
It was hard to tell whether Triumph was roasting Stewart or sarcastically roasting Second Amendment supporters who do not appreciate the rush to politicize these things. Perhaps it was a little of both, because he responded, “Jon, Jon, Jon, Jon, Jon please don't do this. Don't politicize a political event.”
