Liberal comedian Jon Stewart used his weekly episode of “The Daily Show” Monday night to launch an attack on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, going so far as to call him an “advertising ***.”
Stewart slams Carlson
A week after drawing the ire of liberals by attacking their beloved President Joe Biden, Stewart desperately tried to win them back by targeting Carlson for his recent interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Stewart began his monologue by criticizing Carlson’s face as he sat with Putin for the two-hour interview.
“It’s not really a straight face as much as it’s trying to convey a mixture of what appears to be shame, excitement and, I would say, wrongdoing,” Stewart said. “For example, like if you were constipated while masturbating to a Sears catalog.”
Stewart then played a clip of Carlson praising the cleanliness of train stations in Russia before lashing out at homeless Americans while visiting a supermarket.
“I know I’ve said it before: You’re such a ***,” Stewart responded. “Really, really, like an advert***.”
Another clip showed Carlson saying he was “radicalized” against American leaders after seeing the prices available to Russian buyers compared to those from the United States.
“Radicalized!” Stewart repeated. “And it will radicalize you – unless you understand basic economics. You see, $104 for groceries seems like a great deal unless you realize that Russians earn less than $200 a week. But here’s the reality. You fucking know all this because you’re not as stupid as your face would have us believe.
“The question is, why is Tucker doing this,” Stewart continued. “It’s because the old battle of civilization was capitalism versus communism… but now they think the battle is awakened versus unawakened. And in this fight Putin is an ally of the right. He is their friend. Unfortunately, he is also a brutal and ruthless dictator. So they need to make Americans a little more comfortable with this.”

Stewart dares to criticize Biden
This came a week after Stewart infuriated liberals by using his return to “The Daily Show” to target Biden. He dared to point out that Special Prosecutor Robert Hur’s report found Biden’s “diminished faculties and faulty memory,” adding: “If charged, Mr. will likely present himself to the jury as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathizer, elderly man, well-intentioned and with a poor memory.
“This guy couldn’t remember things during his deposition,” Stewart said in response. “Do you understand what this means? He did not have the ability to remember basic things during the interrogation. The footage of the president unable to remember simple facts must have been brutal to watch.”

The liberals lose their minds
This was enough to unleash liberals everywhere.
“Well, after nine years of absence, there’s nothing else to say to both-party grifter Jon Stewart criticizing Biden except: Please make it nine more years,” Keith Olbermann wrote on Xthe social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Oh. So you’re basically saying that because Biden is old, he’s basically just as bad as Trump. Why? [sic] F we never learn as a country? Sorry, but I won’t look at you either,” added Tennessee Election Commissioner Chris D. Jackson.
Stewart appears to be desperately trying to win back his liberal fans by targeting Carlson, someone the left loves to hate almost as much as Donald Trump. What do you think of his criticism of Carlson? Let us know in the comments section.
