Certain, 9 occasions out of 10 he’ll embrace the progressive playbook on “The Day by day Present.” Possibly it’s extra like 19 occasions out of 20.
It’s these uncommon occurrences the place he defies liberal groupthink that catch our consideration. Keep in mind how he steered to regime comic Stephen Colbert that the COVID-19 virus could have come from a Chinese language lab that works on viruses.
You already know, roughly the place the primary COVID-19 sufferers got here down with the virus.
All heck broke lose. And boy, did he hear it from his fellow liberals. The identical occurred when he mocked President Joe Biden for his apparent decline.

Certain, Stewart slammed President Donald Trump’s sold-out Madison Sq. Backyard rally Monday night time, echoing the corrupt company media within the course of.
Xenophobia!!
He additionally defended Tony Hinchcliffe’s look on the NYC rally. Hinchcliffe, who channels the spirit of the youthful Howard Stern, is thought for his blistering routines.
And the “Kill Tony” host delivered simply that Sunday. That impressed a ferocious media narrative, with journalists portray the whole rally primarily based on one visitor speaker.
The media went, properly, even crazier than common. Stewart mocked that response whereas defending Hinchcliffe.
Actually.
Comedians defending comedians. It’s unhappy that it’s turn into a “man bites canine” story.

The host then defended comedy in methods he not often does. Keep in mind, Stewart as soon as denied Cancel Tradition exists earlier than attempting to defend his pal Dave Chappelle from cancellation.
“The man’s actually simply doing what he does,” Stewart mentioned of Hinchcliffe, earlier than taking part in a clip of him at “The Roast of Tom Brady.” Hinchcliffe takes no prisoners, and he proved it on that Netflix particular.

The punchline defended Hinchcliffe and tweaked the Left.
How?
Harris invited Beyonce to endorse her at an occasion final week, drawing 1000’s of the singer’s followers. Besides Beyonce didn’t sing or dance. She spoke for a couple of minutes.
That was all.
And Stewart properly mocked that marketing campaign fail, very similar to it poked enjoyable at Staff Trump for considering Hinchcliffe was the acceptable selection for an October rally.
One out of 20. At the least Stewart made this one rely.
