Jon Stewart gave Congress an earful on Tuesday, blasting a House Judiciary subcommittee for its seeming indifference towards the plight of 9/11 first responders as he testified on their behalf for the extension of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.
“I can’t help but think what an incredible metaphor this room is for the entire process that getting health care and benefits for 9/11 first responders has come to,” Stewart bemoaned. “Behind me, a filled room of 9/11 first responders and in front of me, a nearly empty Congress" Adding that members of the House should be embarrassed for themselves but won’t be, the comedian noted:"Accountability doesn’t appear to be something that occurs in this chamber.”
"Your indifference cost these men and women their most valuable commodity: Time,” Stewart exclaimed. “It's the one thing they're running out of."
Congress is seeking a $4,500 raise and they don’t even bother to show up for work. Drain the swamp! MAGA
