Jon Stewart has skewered the Republican senators and congress members who briefly stood up to President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” last week, only to fall in line and vote in favor of it.
Speaking on Monday night’s installment of The Daily Show, Stewart characterized the bill as a “legislative coup”. He outlined the numerous welfare cuts it contained, affecting everything from Medicaid to renewable energy, student loans, and food stamps, while increasing defense spending and granting tax relief to the wealthy at a cost of an additional $3.4 trillion to the national deficit.
