TV host and comedian Jon Stewart lashed out at Democrats for continuing to make “touch” excuses for President Joe Biden after his failed debate performance on CNN.
The host of “The Daily Show” called out those who turned a blind eye to Biden's “shocking display of cognitive difficulty” during Monday's show, playing several clips of the frail 81-year-old's many gaffes, such as reading “pause” and “repeat line” from a teleprompter.
Stewart focused on CNN's presidential debate and Biden's dismal performance against former President Donald Trump.
“The debate was a shocking display of cognitive difficulty, recognizable to, unfortunately, anyone who has dealt with aging parents, and it's a tough watch,” Stewart said.

He shared several clips of Democrats complaining about the media's focus on Biden's performance instead of Trump's “pathological lying.”
“Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Donald Trump? Or, let's say, every night for ten years!” Stewart scoffed.
“The difference is that Trump delivered on the debate to the expectation. Let's hope he's a crazy king!” added. “But Biden's performance and inability to articulate at times was stunning, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.”
“But then it got worse. Instead of respecting the American people and having an honest, at least partial, conversation about what we had all seen, we were immediately told, 'These are not the droids you're looking for,'” Stewart said. .
Democrats and even the president himself offered justifications for his disastrous performance, blaming everything from a cold to jet lag to over-preparation by his team. Stewart played a few clips showing these excuses.
“I had been home almost two weeks. Was I jet-lagged? How big is this f-king jet? The thing is, for a campaign built on honesty and decency, the spin on the debate seems to be blatant , and the redemption tour hasn't gone much better,” he said, referring to subsequent media and personal appearances. with the goal of trying to make Biden look perfectly sane while supporters covered him.
“'Get On Board or Shut The Fuck Up' is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker, and neither is 'What are you going to do?'” Stewart declared.
“I'm by no means saying Biden should drop out, but can't we try this candidacy? Can't we open the conversation? Do you understand the opportunity here? Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint of inspiration or leadership and to be freed from this suffocating megalomaniac gerontocracy. “It's crushing our evil spirits!”
Last month, Stewart criticized Biden's “senior moments” during the presidential debate and blasted CNN for creating the disaster.
