Comedy Central’s Monday host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, flipped conservative media the double bird for highlighting instances of violence that occurred in New York after the Knicks won the NBA Finals. He further claimed conservatives who were looking forward to the UFC fight at the White House were being hypocritical in their condemnations. Later in the show, Stewart welcomed Sen. Raphael Warnock to promote his new book in order to claim that liberals are the better Christians.
After playing some clips from Fox News and Newsmax, Stewart attacked, “They’re focusing on the bad stuff to portray that the prevailing emotion and behavior in New York City on that Saturday night was one of chaos and barbarity, but I was there. You're lying. It wasn't. It was an overwhelming sense of joy and solidarity and diversity and community, and a good amount of crying, and a lot of contact high, and we are just so sorry, right-wing media, that we in New York City can't live up to your definition of a 'peaceful gathering.’"
After some January 6 footage, Stewart displayed his double middle finger salute and continued, “Womp, womp. Womp, womp. Now that's how you behave in public. Although, to be fair to that mob, you know, they lost, so—anger justifiable.”
