Jon Stewart Mocks Fox News for Warning Migrants Could Sneak Across Border During the Eclipse
The Daily Show host Jon Stewart ridiculed Fox News for warning that migrants could sneak across the southern border at a greater rate than usual during Monday’s four-minute solar eclipse.
During his show on Monday evening, Stewart noted that “not everybody was happy about today’s celestial seasoning,” before playing a clip of America’s Newsroom co-host Bill Hemmer saying, “We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual, and that means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”
“Or they could just wait ’til night time,” reacted Stewart as the audience burst into laughter. “Four minutes?!”
He added, “I gotta say though, is there nothing Fox can’t tie to immigration? ‘This here cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.'”
Stewart also went on to mock Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for claiming that the eclipse, along with Friday’s east coast earthquake, were “strong signs” from God “to tell us to repent.””How do you know?” questioned Stewart. “How would you know that that is what God meant? Why would God be so obtuse? Why would he do that? Or she. Why would she? Or, how crazy would it be if God insisted on ‘they/them’? But honestly, is this shit really how God works?”
