Jon Stewart just visited “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” to deliver, in typical Stewart fashion, a brutally straightforward mic-drop message to the American people.
His message was simple: while many politicians claim they stand for unity, they undermine that with platforms built around inequity. Stewart not very subtly called out the Republican National Convention because of its divisive language about immigrants, racial minorities, LGBTQ people, and women.
“You got a problem with those Americans fighting for their place at the table,” Stewart said. ”You got a problem with them because you feel like the … ‘sub-groups’ of Americans are being divisive. Well, if you’ve got a problem with that, take it up with the founders . ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”
“Those fighting to be included in the ideal of equality are not being divisive. Those fighting to keep those people out are.”
He continued, “You feel that you’re this country’s rightful owners. There’s only one problem with that: This country isn’t yours. You don’t own it. It never was. There is no ‘real America.’ You don’t own it. You don’t own patriotism. You don’t own Christianity. You sure as hell don’t own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police, and firefighters.”
