Comedian Jon Stewart called out former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Hunter Biden during a segment on Monday focused on corruption titled, “How Dumb Is You?”
Stewart first took aim at Menendez, and said his alleged crimes were “f—— awful,” adding, “You, sir, are an elected official in America’s most respected legislative body. It’s like a license to print money. You don’t need to break the law so cartoonishly when the legal corruption in the Senate is so f—— lucrative.”
Menendez is accused of accepting bribes from three wealthy businessmen in New Jersey and performing a variety of favors in return, including meddling in criminal investigations and taking actions benefiting the governments of Egypt and Qatar. Stewart also took aim at insider trading in Congress, which the legislative body has yet to vote on.
The comedian described Pelosi as one of the “biggest beneficiaries” of their ability to trade stocks before showing video of the former speaker of the House saying members of Congress should not be banned from trading stocks and should be allowed to participate in the “free market.”
“Here’s the thing. In a free market, everyone has access to the same information,” Stewart said. “So unless you’re gonna put all of us on the committees, I don’t get it.”
He then pointed to a $2 billion investment Jared Kushner’s company received from Saudi Arabia, before playing a clip of the president’s son being asked if he would have gotten a seat on the Burisma board if his last name wasn’t “Biden.” In the video, Biden replied, “Probably not.”
