Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart blasted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) Monday for canceling his speech on income equality after learning that it was open to the public.

“Pussy!” Stewart coughed. “Sorry. I meant to say, ‘You sound like a pussy.'”

“Seriously, you’re going to give a speech income inequality, but you cancel it because the poors might be there?”
