“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart offered a much-needed antidote to the conspiracy theories being regurgitated by right-wing media outlets and congressional Republicans regarding the solar eclipse that took place Monday across the United States.
Stewart began by tackling the fearmongering that took place on Fox News in connection to the eclipse, where hosts ominously suggested that the four minutes of darkness across Texas could cause havoc at the U.S.-Mexico border, with Fox’s Bill Hemmer saying the eclipse would provide “a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”
Stewart countered, “Or they could just wait ’til nighttime.”
“Is there nothing Fox can’t tie to immigration?” he added, wryly mocking: “This here cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.”
And then Stewart turned to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who had been spreading wild scenarios on social media that the eclipse and last week’s earthquake in New Jersey were “signs” that God wanted the nation to “repent.”
Stewart had another question for loose cannons like Greene who love to try and tell us what God expects from us.
