Jon Stewart is back<\/a>, but the political landscape is very different than the one he left behind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Daily Show” star retired from his faux anchor seat in 2015, a time before his party embraced too many extremes to tally. We can start with open borders and name check Defund the Police<\/a> for a sampler of uncorked thinking.<\/p>\n

That version of Stewart leaned to the Left, and hard, but he saved some energy for mocking his fellow Democrats.<\/p>\n

Occasionally.<\/p>\n

That’s no longer acceptable to the modern Left, and he learned that lesson the hard way.<\/p>\n

Twice.<\/p>\n

The first time came following his 2020 political satire “Irresistible<\/a>.” The film served up a (mostly) fair and balanced critique of our political system, dinging both the Left and the Right. Critics decried that approach<\/a>, slamming a comedian they once adored.<\/p>\n

Later, Stewart suggested the COVID-19 virus likely came from a lab<\/a>, defying the progressive narrative tied to wet markets. His fellow liberals roasted him for suggesting the obvious.<\/p>\n

And he noticed.<\/a><\/p>\n

“The backlash was swift, immediate, and quite loud. And again, I didn’t take that personally either. Like, we live in a world where, like, I have my opinions, I’m not mad at the backlash either because they’re doing what I’m doing, which is expressing myself … The part that I don’t like about it is the absolutes and the dismissive like ‘f— you, I’m done with you. I will never forgive you, you have crossed an unforgivable line. You’ve expressed an opinion that is antithetical to mine, or not mine,’” he said.<\/p>\n

He felt similar rage following his Feb. 12 “Daily Show” return.<\/p>\n

Stewart leaned to the Left once more during Monday’s performance – his return is limited to once-a-week anchor duties. He alluded to a special counsel report finding President Joe Biden likely broke the law regarding classified documents but was too old and mentally feeble to be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

Jon Stewart to Team Biden: Put Up or Shut Up<\/h2>\n

The comic noted that while everyone on Team Biden praises the leader’s razor-sharp mind no one can offer up proof to back it up. <\/p>\n

Yes, Stewart slammed Donald Trump in various ways, too, but he wouldn’t pull punches when it came to Biden’s age.<\/p>\n

The response was swift and furious.<\/p>\n

\n

if this is Jon Stewart's triumphant return it sounds surprisingly unoriginal, in the vein of what mainstream media has been clamoring for months: "too old"–"too old"–"too old"–"both sides identical: too old." this is funny or helpful–exactly how? https:\/\/t.co\/U531IPBj1k<\/a><\/p>\n
