30. The point was not the point

That mattered. It was the TFG re-posting that image. That was the point. 99.9% of us would never even know anything about it but for TFG re-posting it. That was the real issue.

My issue with Stewart is, especially when it comes to Biden, he always seems to come down in a way to never blame TFG and always, even if subtle, to take swipes at Biden.
Tired of Stewart giving Trump a pass on everything.

Since he has been back I have yet to hear Stewart make an unequivocal, clear and obvious dig at TFG without watering it down by also taking swipes at Biden or someone else as well.
Like when Leslie Jones was hosting the show the other day, on multiple occasions, made unapologetic and clear condemnation of TFG. So have others. Stewart, as far as I can tell, has not.
