“Each day Present” host Jon Stewart was fuming on Monday after eight Democratic senators capitulated to President Donald Trump to finish the longest authorities shutdown in U.S. historical past.
In return, they received none of their calls for ― particularly the extension of the Inexpensive Care Act credit which might be set to run out on the finish of the yr.
“I can’t fucking imagine it!” Stewart stated a number of instances all through a virtually 22-minute-long monologue wherein he in the end steered that the perfect answer now’s to switch Democratic leaders corresponding to Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Stewart performed a supercut video of Democratic figures swearing they may “not cease preventing” and “is not going to again down.” Schumer himself insisted “no fucking method” they’d give up.
“Effectively, humorous fucking story,” Stewart stated. “They fucking caved on the shutdown, not even a full week faraway from the perfect election-night outcomes they’ve had in years.”
Democrats final week received practically each main election contest across the nation, usually by a lot higher-than-expected margins.
However Democrats caved with out getting the ACA subsidies they have been holding out for, as a substitute settling for a promise by Republicans to carry a separate vote on the topic subsequent month.
“I can’t fucking imagine it!” Stewart stated once more, then schooled lawmakers on precisely how that vote will in the end fail.
“Democrats, you bought out the complete shutdown to not get what you needed, however for a promise to not get what you needed later,” he stated.
