Jon Stewart Gives Lukewarm Support to Joe Biden, Says America Is Seeing Itself for Who it Is

“Biden was not my guy. Wasn’t even in the top four,” Stewart said. “I was more of a Sanders moron.”

Stewart admitted that he is “not crazy about” Biden’s attempts at down home, folksy warmth, his “Uncle Joe” character, and Corn Pop. “All that kind of stuff feels shaky to me. But I feel like that’s not the core of who that guy really is.” “We are a country in terrible anguish right now. We are in pain… the blindfold is off.. and we are kind of seeing ourselves as who we really are.

He praised Biden on the colbertlateshow , saying we need someone with empathy. SwampyDon

I thought Jon was a very heartfelt on why he feels Biden is what our country needs, especially his compassion.

Misquote: he did not say Sanders moron, he said Sanders WARREN. I guess listening is hard?

I was there. I watched it. Stewart wasn't lukewarm, he was thoughtful and explained his thought process, something that is not very common these days. I'm referring to thought. JoeBiden RidenWithBiden Let's defeat SwampyDon and send him to prison where he belongs.

Was not “lukewarm” at all.

expecting humility from a guy who every step of the way acts like he's entitled to the nomination and the presidency, l o l

Jon’s words. “When I see Biden I see a guy who knows what loss is...knows grief. And I think that kind of grief humbles you. There’s a humility to the randomness of tragedy that brings about a caring that can’t be faked. And it can’t be contrived. And I think in this moment...

Hmm, I didn't react to it as lukewarm. I took it as an honest view of why a person of Biden's character and experience is needed now. After Trump, humility and empathy are welcome back in the White House.

we actually don't need to be hearing from celebrities right now, just my take

Really lukewarm support is probably all JoeBiden can get from anyone. He is unequivocally boring & is in no way a particularly strong candidate to take out DonaldTrump

How about Jon Stewart Gives THOUGHTFUL Support to Joe Biden. Lukewarm suggests maybe he’ll vote for him, maybe he won’t. That’s not what the article says.

Didn’t sound lukewarm to me ... it was a heartfelt examination of why to vote FOR Biden and not just against swampydon ... well said, Jon Stewart.

Wow. That is not at all what the story is. Congrats on your clicks.

Jon should run. This country deserves an actual man not a senile old politician or a scam artist snake oil salesman.

That’s nice

Jon Stewart on The Daily Show's Lack of Diversity: 'Nobody Likes to Get Called on Their Shit'About a decade ago, Jezebel published a longread on The Daily Show’s writers’ room, which was then a veritable boy’s club with few-to-no women writers or correspondents. The women staffers who did come through told Jezebel they felt marginalized, disrespected, and targeted for firing. Their experience was not necessarily universal—in response to the article, women Daily Show staffers wrote a response praising the “meritocracy” they worked for—but looking at the cast and crew list, there was no question that at the time the show’s writers and correspondents skewed toward men, and white ones at that. cthagod I would prefer Jon Stewart to go back and host The Daily Show.
