    Jon Stewart Absolutely Demolishes MAGA For Becoming Everything It Mocked

    Published on

    Jon Stewart has a question for Donald Trump and the MAGA movement: “When did the right become such fucking pussies?”

    On Monday’s “Daily Show,” Stewart absolutely eviscerated the conservative meltdown over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance—a show that triggered MAGA so hard they needed Turning Point USA to host their own conservative halftime show featuring Kid Rock.

    WHAT’S GOING ON: Stewart compiled clips of right-wing commentators losing their minds over everything from Bad Bunny singing in Spanish to Olympic athletes who’ve dared criticize Trump’s policies. The same crowd demanding athletes be sent home for expressing political opinions. The same people who spent years mocking liberals for being too sensitive.

    THE DETAILS: Stewart pulled up a Fox News graphic from 2017 listing the supposed “signs of snowflakery”—being “perpetually offended,” needing “safe spaces,” attempting to “shut down speech,” and embracing a “culture of victimhood.”

    “Remind you of anyone?” Stewart asked.

    Then he switched to a mocking whine: “Oh, I can’t go 15 minutes without listening to country music. I need a separate show. Oh, that skier triggered me. I can’t sleep.”

    BOTTOM LINE: Stewart delivered the kind of brutal assessment that cuts through the hypocrisy: “It’s actually fucking pathetic, the gap between the power you all wield… and the victimhood you all claim is the real offense. If you didn’t actually have the power to do so much damage in our country, I think we’d all dismiss it as a weak and pathetic pity party. That’s what you’re throwing.”

    Of course, this is the same movement that built its brand on calling everyone else “snowflakes” while demanding safe spaces from Spanish-language music. The projection is almost impressive.
