In an attempt to lessen the fallout from his dismal debate performance last month, comedian Jon Stewart reportedly made the suggestion that President Biden is “becoming Trumpian.”
In his most recent episode of “Weekly Show,” Stewart hinted that Democrats are keeping quiet in response to worries about the president’s chances of unseating outgoing President Trump in November and winning a second term.
He continued by drawing comparisons between Biden and the outgoing president, citing Biden’s responses to calls for his resignation.
“All I’m saying is if we are taking an honest look at what our best chance to defend ourselves against a perceived threat, I think we are selling ourselves short,” Stewart said.
“And in a lot of ways, using — as, as Tommy put it — omerta to stifle what could be an incredibly productive, at least conversation.” he continued.
“Even if Joe Biden came out and said, ‘Look, I understand where I’m at in my life span and cycle and what I do. Here’s how this government works.’ Rather than coming out and becoming Trumpian and saying, ‘You think someone else could hold NATO together, they could never; only God can tell me to get out of the race,’’ Stewart added.
In the podcast recording that was made public, Stewart did not specifically ask Biden to resign, but he has previously attacked the president consistently after his disastrous debate performance.
In recent weeks, an increasing number of Democrats have urged Biden to get out of the race, but the president has insisted that he will not be doing so.
