Jon Stewart on the latest episode of his "The Weekly Show" podcast tore into President Joe Biden over a level of "deceit" that the comedian argued stooped to the level of former President Donald Trump.
Stewart's criticism of Biden follows the President's tough showing at CNN's June 27 presidential debate, in which he made a series of seemingly age-related fumbles and struggled to appear coherent at times. Speaking to guests Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor — both of whom served as staffers for the Obama administration — Stewart criticized the "omerta" (an Italian code of silence) surrounding any honest and open discussion of the 81-year-old president's elderly status.
