The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart isn’t buying into the uproar over Former President Donald Trump sharing a video on social media that depicted President Joe Biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck.
The short clip Trump shared showed a truck emblazoned with “Trump 2024″ and a large picture depicting Biden hogtied and lying on his side.
Trump faced backlash over his decision to share the video. But Stewart didn’t share in the outrage.
“That’s what was so disturbing and dehumanizing you wouldn’t show it on television? An airbrushed Biden decal on the back of a truck? Aren’t you the same networks that show reruns of 9/11 every year? I mean I don’t think it’s great that Trump is posting things like this, but it’s not like people really think Joe Biden was tied up in the back of the truck,” the host joked.
“If you really think that’s Joe Biden tied up on the back of a pickup truck, I don’t think you have the mental acuity to operate a motor vehicle.”
