Jon Stewart said it, not me? But as usual, Stewart hits the nail directly on the head!
In his latest broadcast, Stewart began by giving Texas its props. “You did a great job handling your Ebola,” Stewart said about Texas. He then took on the so-called “Ebola-outbreak” and spoke more specifically about the utter panic the governors of New York and New Jersey put in place to deal with the “outbreak,” – a 21 days lock-down of anyone who went to Africa to help fight the disease!
In his segment, Stewart spoke about a nurse who just returned home and was immediately placed in this lockdown. She was placed in a tent with no heat, now hot water and no functioning toilet. Essentially being held captive in New Jersey, payback for her good deeds overseas.
In one of the clips Stewart showed, the nurse expressed her frustrations with the situation, saying that Chris Christie is no doctor and did not even see her personally, so the basis for him keeping her captive was uncalled for. Stewart then played a clip showing Christie’s response with him saying that the woman will understand once she settles down and reflect on the situation. Stewart agreed with the woman, then added “why does Chris Christie have to be a dick about everything?”
The segment went on with Stewart questioning if this nation is still the Home of the Brave, considering all the fear Americans are expressing over a couple of cases of Ebola! He then implied that we are probably still a brave nation, “unless you have a fever.”
Watch.
