Jon Stewart appeared live on “The Daily Show” Tuesday night, where he shared his reaction to the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
The show played dueling clips of Trump and Harris’ responses to abortion, including Trump saying “we’ve gotten what everybody wanted” after overturning Roe v. Wade.
Harris responded: “I have talked with women around our country. You wanna talk about this is what people wanted? Pregnant women who want to carry a pregnancy to term, suffering from a miscarriage, being denied care in an emergency room because the healthcare providers are afraid they might go to jail — and she’s bleeding out in a car in the parking lot? She didn’t want that.”
“Holy shit, she crushed that,” Stewart said in reaction to Harris’ comments on the abortion issue.
“This is like one of those ‘Groundhog Day’ movies where you get to go back and fix the bad way something happened earlier to the good way,” Stewart continued. “And then you learn Italian and the piano and then you get sad and then despondent and then you learn how to love yourself.”
The “Daily Show” host later poked fun at Trump’s false comments about immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
“They’re eating the dogs,” Trump said during the debate. “The people that came in — they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”
“Having spent some time in Springfield myself, I believe I know what’s happening here,” Stewart said. “I believe Trump himself may be becoming one of Springfield’s most famous residents.” The show then cut to a clip of Abe, better known as Grampa Simpson, from “The Simpsons.”
On a more serious note, Stewart criticized Trump’s response to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“You spent two months riling up your base that our country had literally been stolen from them through fraudulent means, that you could never even get a whiff of in a court of law, and let yourself just abuse them. You pressed on. You abused their trust. You showed up for a speech? You fucking tweeted, ‘Join me on Jan. 6, it will be wild,” Stewart said.
