‘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.”
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)
