Daily Show host Jon Stewart dropped numerous profanities as he shredded former President Donald Trump's debate performance and took shots at Dick Cheney, repeatedly telling the former vice president to "F--- off."
Stewart held a live recap on Comedy Central following a heated debate Tuesday night between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, but began his show by blasting Dick Cheney. At one point Stewart pretended to throw up off screen at the thought of Cheney endorsing Harris.
"F-- off. Seriousl! F--- off! You came this close to destroying the entire world! We were this close!"
He hit Cheney again, joking, "Who is that endorsement going to sway?!"
Stewart took a moment to mock the handshake between Harris and Trump, noting that President Joe Biden and Trump didn't greet one another.
"She went for the handshake! Ladies and gentlemen, what an incredible display of the awkward tension that happens when your son is dating a biracial girl and you meet her parents for the first time," he said, to a chorus of groans from the audience. "Konnichiwa!"
Stewart later pointed to the point in the debate where he said the "wheels fell off" for Trump — abortion.
After playing dueling clips of Trump and Harris' responses — with Trump saying he gave Americans what they wanted by helping to overturn Roe v. Wade and Harris lamenting that women shouldn't be "bleeding out in the parking lot" — Stewart whispered, "Holy s---! She crushed that!"
"This is like one of those Groundhog Day movies where you get to go back and fix the bad way something happened earlier and to the good way!" he exclaimed.
Stewart continued his praise for Harris, suggesting Trump may start "taking off his earings" after Harris said his rally-goers leave early out of "exhaustion and boredom."
"Folks the eagle has landed! She has attacked what is Donald Trump's most cherished family member: His rally crowds!"
