00:00It's been a week, or a decade, or what the f**k.
00:05Jon Stewart is finally addressing Kamala Harris's newly launched presidential campaign on The
00:09Daily Show.
00:11The show was on hiatus last week when President Biden announced that he would not seek re-election,
00:16and the host was finally able to give his two cents on Monday night.
00:20Democrats have gone from the despair of a certain Trump presidency to the joy of a statistical
00:28tie.
00:30Stewart first started out by re-enacting last week's events in the form of a one-man
00:34black box play.
00:35But who will guide us out of the darkness?
00:36Who will take us there to the promised land?
00:44The host then mocked the contradictory reactions to Harris's presidential campaign from Republican
00:49politicians over the course of last week.
00:52He cycled through clips from Republican pundits complaining that Harris doesn't like Jewish
00:56people.
00:57Join the club.
00:58I'm getting crushed out there.
01:01Right now I'm not even sure how much we like ourselves.
01:04But then went on to point out that the claim had very little validity given that Harris's
01:08husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish.
01:10Stewart also addressed sexist claims that Harris slapped her way to the top by having
01:14sex with other male politicians, to which the comedian had this reply.
01:19So sexist saying Kamala Harris slapped her way to the top.
01:22Joe Biden and Donald Trump literally slapped their way to the top and we never heard a
01:27beep about it.
01:28Stewart went on to say that he understands why Republicans may be upset when they thought
01:32they had this election in the bag and offered some advice.
01:35It makes sense.
01:37So how about we do this out of fairness, I'm a fair person.
01:42You can replace your old guy too.
