Jon Stewart on the Minneapolis ICE shooting: We are in a confusing, dark place'
"What the fuck is happening? he exclaimed. What the fuck is happening in this country? From Minnesota, to Venezuela, to Iran, to Greenland, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia. We are on the Donald Trump Gravitron, he concluded. We don't know what up or down is. We just know it feels like we're all gonna vomit. Each moment brings another event with cataclysmic implications and consequences,"
"Stewart later broke down the double standards for the administration's view of law enforcement how Trump pardoned 1,500 participants from the January 6 attack on the Capitol, while his administration continues to refer to Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old Minneapolis mother who was fatally shot by ICE last week, as highly disrespectful and a deranged lunatic. The important lesson here is what? he asked, before playing a clip of Megyn Kelly, who argued that Good brought it upon herself."
A weekend of nationwide protests followed the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother, by an ICE officer. Donald Trump posted referring to himself as the acting president of Venezuela, contributing to heightened political turmoil. Jon Stewart expressed outrage and described a sense of escalating global and domestic chaos. Stewart criticized perceived double standards, noting pardons for January 6 participants while Good was vilified by some commentators. A clip of Megyn Kelly suggested Good brought the violence upon herself. Stewart questioned the loss of institutional checks and highlighted claims that Trump’s personal morality serves as his sole restraint.
