Jon Stewart Calls BS On Trump's Supposed 'Respect' For The Obamas
HuffPost
In his podcast, the late-night host told off Trump for trying to act like he's played nice with Barack and Michelle Obama.
Jon Stewart isn’t going to let Donald Trump take back the terrible things he’s said about the Obama family over the years.
During Thursday’s episode of his podcast, “The Weekly Show,” Stewart praised former first lady Michelle Obama’s barn burner at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, noting how much ugliness she and her family faced during their time in the public eye, particularly from Trump.
“She was really wounded by the, if we’re being honest, disgusting treatment, which continues to this day, of the Obama family, and just the vile attacks like, not policy, not anything other than just vile, conspiratorial, personal disturbing,” Stewart said.
“And then you have Trump yesterday, ‘I’ve got a lot of respect for the Obamas.’ Bullshit!”
Before the Obamas spoke on the second night of the DNC in Chicago, Trump tried to make it like he never harassed the political power couple, despite being one of the biggest promoters of the “birther” conspiracy theory, which claimed Barack Obama was lying about being born in the U.S., and a litany of other baseless attacks.
