"On Thanksgiving?! Are you confusing that with Festivus? the Daily Show host exclaimed on Monday evening. Days later, asked by reporters if he regretted his remarks, Trump doubled down, saying that there was something seriously wrong with the Democratic governor. Something wrong with him? With him? Stewart fumed. You were sitting with your family at Thanksgiving, belly full of turkey and pie, surrounded by the love of your extended crime family, but your initial instinct was to Truth a slur at Tim Walz?"
"The press corps had to spend the whole holiday weekend down at Mar-a-Lago, listening to this brain ooze, and then, they couldn't even go back home by themselves, he added. They had to fly back with this nut and ask him if he wants to clarify any of the nonsense. In fact, Trump attempted to assuage recurring concerns about his health and cognitive abilities, including a recently revealed MRI scan in October,"
"It was just an MRI, he said. What part of the body? It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test, and I aced it. That's not physically possible, Stewart responded. To have no idea, it's not possible. What would you say to the doctor? No no no, don't tell me. I want to find out at my MRI reveal party.' For God's sakes, man, were you not curious at all?"
Jon Stewart sharply criticized Donald Trump for using an ableist slur to describe Minnesota governor Tim Walz and ridiculed the timing of the attack over Thanksgiving. Stewart highlighted Trump's decision to post the insult on Truth Social and noted that reporters spent the holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago fielding the fallout. Stewart also mocked Trump's efforts to allay concerns about his cognitive abilities, citing Trump's comments about an October MRI and his claim to have “aced” a cognitive test. Stewart framed the combination of offensive language and implausible health reassurances as revealing and discrediting.
