‘The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart Mocks Media Praising Trump For “Not Taking Cancer’s Side” In Biden Statement

As Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show, he took aim at the media’s recent coverage of Joe Biden‘s cancer diagnosis.
On Monday’s episode, the comedian expressed skepticism that President Donald Trump wrote his own Truth Social statement wishing his predecessor a “fast and successful recovery” as it didn’t sound like his usual online rhetoric.
“That’s it? No exclamation points? No all caps? No insults? Whole thing’s spelled correctly? It’s really got all the telltale signs of a post definitely written by Donald Trump,” he joked. “I look at this post, I wonder when they saw this post, if Truth Social sent him a security alert. They just sent him a quick message: ‘We noticed some suspicious humanity on your account. If this was in fact you, President Trump, please reply, “Nancy Pelosi’s husband is gay.”‘

The segment then cut to news anchors praising Trump for his unusually civil behavior before Stewart roasted the talking heads over their selective memory of the twice-impeached president’s track record.
“What he did was not noteworthy and important. Has any president—has any person, ever, had a lower bar to clear?” mused Stewart before mocking the reporters, “‘I have to salute the president. I certainly disagree with him on many things, but I have to applaud that after hearing this devastating news about Joe Biden, that Donald did not take cancer’s side.'”
After Biden’s office released a statement announcing that the 46th president has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bone, Trump extended well wishes in a Truth Social statement.
“Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” he wrote. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”
