Jon Stewart Shreds Democrats With Idea For New 3-Word Slogan | EUROtoday

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Thursday argued that Democrats who rallied behind President Joe Biden amid issues over his stamina and cognitive talents contributed to a “last gasp” of the occasion’s established order.

“We need to overcome, I think, the stink,” stated Stewart within the newest episode of his “Weekly Show” podcast.

“By the way, if that is not a Democrat’s slogan in 2028, something has gone terribly wrong — ‘Overcome The Stink.’”

Stewart likened Democrats standing by Biden as the previous president confronted questions over his well being and skill to serve a second time period (issues which have led to allegations of a “cover-up”) to how the Iraq War was an “extinction event” for Republicans, setting the stage for President Donald Trump to emerge as a celebration chief.

“It has sown the seeds for a real — and it’s an opportunity — for an interesting reinvention of what this Democratic Party can be,” stated Stewart in an episode that includes “Pod Save America” hosts Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett.

Stewart added that there needs to be “excitement, not trepidation” round how the Democratic Party recovers from the 2024 election, although maybe not from Democrats who have been carefully aligned with Biden final 12 months.

“I think anybody that has any of that stink on them is not going to be particularly successful,” Stewart stated.

Lovett, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama, stated that Democrats have the power of “front of the classroom kids” so far as how they reply to academics (on this case, occasion leaders), whereas Republicans have captured a “back of the classroom energy.”

He contrasted Democrats’ present vibe with how Obama challenged Hillary Clinton within the 2008 Democratic presidential main, despite the fact that she was “marching” towards the nomination and had endorsements.

Lovett added that so few Democrats have been “willing” to problem Biden and lacked the “fire” to take action, describing their inaction as an “indictment” on the present occasion.

“It points to a kind of lack of assuredness in their own worldview. It points to this kind of … consensus establishment mentality.”

He continued, “It’s that the right person is the kind of person to say, ‘You know what, we got a bunch of shit wrong.’”
