Jon Stewart also fired back at Republican Senator Pat Toomey: He wants 'sick and dying veterans” to 'march through the halls on the hill begging for money every year.'
, “Morning @SenToomey I’d rather be a pseudo celeb than pseudo Senator! Take your amendment vote at the same 60 threshold Veterans had to hit…Good luck capping and rationing care!!!!!”
“Funny. @SenToomey never called for spending caps on the war…only on the health care for veterans sickened by said wars. Interesting priorities,” Stewart added.in protest to the bill’s stalling.
“Look, anybody can say anything, you know,” Stewart said of Cruz’s excuses. “We can say Elvis Presley is still alive, but at some point we all have to live in reality, and what he is saying is just factually incorrect. The bill that Ted Cruz voted yes on had the exact same funding provisions as the bill he voted no on. It is the exact same bill. None of this makes any sense.”
Asked if he thought the sudden Republican opposition was related to Democrats’ recent progress earning Sen. Joe Manchin’s public support for, Stewart said, “I mean, honestly, I have no idea. I’m not up there. I’m watching it from the outside, so I don’t know why they did it. But I do know this: The explanations that they’ve given thus far are scattershot, they’re all over the place, and none of them make any sense.
