Jon Stewart’s explanation of the Trump regime’s idea of free speech is bitingly hilarious essential viewing

There’s nobody quite like the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart for cutting through Trumpian BS and holding up the orange buffoon and his devoted army of sycophants to well-deserved ridicule.

He recently turned his attention to their lip service to the concept of free speech, and he pulled not a single punch. It’s almost nine minutes, but there’s not a second wasted.

“Generally, you’ve got to search the archives for contradictions on one’s stated principles, dig through policy papers and uncover private actions that are undermined by someone’s public stance – but this is so blatant I can’t wrap my head around it.

It’s not even a hypocrisy, it’s that they so fetishise free speech, this thing that they do not in any way actually practise.”

Here’s how TikTok users reacted to the clip.

1.

Free Speech IS NOT the freedom to say what ever you want with out consequences. Free Speech IS is the right to communicate ideas and information without GOVERNMENT censorship or punishment.

When they say return to “free speech” they mean they think they should get to use racist and homophobic slurs like they used to without repercussions.

Nothing JD vance says will ever make me think he’s genuine now. he was a MASSIVE trump hater until it benefited him to be one of his goons. the man even changes his name when it suits him best.

Why have so many X accounts in Europe been deleted in the last month after criticizing Musk? Same on TikTok.

Free speech until somebody disagrees with him and they happen to be on a Visa then suddenly they’re being threatened with deportation like that guy that was at a protest for Gaza.

I used to like Jon Stewart, but he’s become way too biased to be taken seriously anymore. Hard to see him as a legitimate voice when it’s so one-sided.

He was extremely critical of Biden especially when it came to Israel but go off.
