‘By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets,’ Daily Show host says of White House spokeswoman
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was seen without her cross necklace following the mockery of Daily Show host Jon Stewart.
Leavitt appeared for her briefing on Tuesday in a navy blazer, but she had chosen to forego her signature jewelry.
On Monday night, Stewart skewered Leavitt, saying, “By the way, I think that the more she lies, the bigger her cross gets. Is that possible? It’s like some sort of weird Pinocchio cross.”
The host also noted that Leavitt is likely to be “the only one” who will be able to leave the administration “unscathed … Because I don’t think that she has any principles in there left to die.”
Really? A joke about a cross is news…
Edit. I’m a moron I thought I was in the news community I deserve the downvotes. Continue with the lambasting
I don’t think the daily show is news. And it is very much politics.
In a way, it usually expects that you already know the news to appreciate it properly
Maybe not already know, necessarily, but (like most things, really) you’ll definitely get more out of it if you have an awareness of the greater context surrounding the individual parts, so to speak. However, one of the things I’ve always liked about Stewart in particular is his ability (imo, of course, ymmv) to very precisely and very succinctly zero in on not only what’s of actual importance itself, but also what makes that important. Crucially, these aren’t always the same thing, even in some cases where you could easily be convinced otherwise. John Oliver is another such ‘super-informer’ we’ll say (and I’m sure some of you might even appreciate in a semi-dark sorta way lol)
i’ll never not read an article about jon stewart ridiculing fascists. dgaf if it’s “news” or not
I still wish he and Colbert would get together and run for Pres and VP. I honestly think they could smoke just about any other ticket either side could put together (short of the inclusion of dream team style clones and/or resurrection), and could do so running as independents to boot.
Plus, I think they’d just be honest to god good at the fucking job. I mean, look at Zelenskyy! He, too, was a comedian who ended up in his country’s highest office and he’s turned out to be the kind of leader we’ve certainly been in want of for decades here in America, at least… (obviously, i have no place to speak for other countries, especially when being so generous to mine by only saying decades 😋)
Yes great leaders are more often than not the ones who absolutely do not want to do it, but have to or feel they do. If you want power before you even have it, most likely than not you’re part of the people it would corrupt the moment you get it. Power corrupts absolutely but some people definitely can’t handle even a modicum of it.
I read it cause I love the daily show
I made the comment because I thought I was in the news sub
S I deserve the downvotes! I leave my mistake and shame for all to see
