After a three-week break, Jon Stewart is again at “The Daily Show” desk to recount Vice President Kamala Harris certifying the presidential election of Donald Trump, which in fact, befell on the four-year anniversary of the Capitol riot.
“What a historic day in Washington, D.C. it is. As many of you know it’s Jan. 6. And as you can see, once again, a blanket of angry white is descending on the Capitol,” Stewart mentioned as he flashed an image of the U.S. Capitol lined in snow on display screen. “This white, oddly enough, not as disruptive. It did snarl traffic, but a lot less bear spray and Confederate flags.”
Jan. 6 is historically the day the present Vice President will certify the votes for the incoming president. Stewart was fast to level out the awkward incontrovertible fact that Harris, who misplaced to Trump within the 2024 presidential election, needed to act because the “master of ceremonies” for the occasion.
Stewart performed a clip of Harris studying out the variety of votes Trump obtained in Florida, which was adopted by resounding applause from a portion of the onlooking congress members.
“That’s got to sting. She’s like, ‘Um, I can hear you,’” Stewart joked. “That’s like attending your own funeral, and even the mourners are like, ‘Woo-hoo!’ I can’t imagine anything that would be more uncomfortable than sitting there while the crowd applauds your opponent.”
Stewart then performed a clip of Harris asserting her personal votes from California, which additionally was obtained with applause.
“Wait! That sounded louder,” Stewart mentioned. “There is a lot of joy in that room. I think she can still win this thing! She just needs them to find 130,000 votes in Georgia! And then some in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and maybe Wisconsin.”
Stewart continued, “But ultimately, the certification ceremony that we all look forward to every four years since I was little, went off without a hitch. Because it’s amazing how smoothly our democracy works when you don’t act like a little bitch when you lose. Not naming names! Just saying.”
