Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart tried to present himself as the only reasonable man in America on Monday’s The Daily Show. According to Stewart, everyone is too busy trying to portray perpetuators of violence as members of the other side, but he was determined to show it is not that simple. While Stewart’s point came with some reasonable warnings, he also downplayed known political motivations in the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attack on the ICE facility in Dallas.
After discussing the markings on the Kirk killer’s bullets, including references to video games, Stewart moved on to a montage of clips highlighting “anti-ICE” being featured on that shooter’s bullets, sarcastically noting, “Case closed! He wrote “anti-ICE.”
He then wondered, “Doesn't anybody think it's [bleep] weird that these people just started writing on bullets all of a sudden like that's the most effective way to get out their deeply held political beliefs? ‘Anti-ICE.’ Nuff said. Or is there the slightest possibility that these people are [bleep] with us?”
