Jon Stewart Exposes Big Problem With Vance’s Immigrants Rant

Nathan Howard/Reuters Jon Stewart has delivered a scathing rebuke of Vice President JD Vance’s attempts to blame foreign immigrants for the massive riots exploding across France.

The takedown came after Vance, 42, attempted to connect the weekend’s chaotic protests in Paris over the high cost of living to immigration policies, claiming on social media that “Western liberals imported the third world into France” and warning American voters that Democrats want the exact same outcome for the U.S.

Opening The Daily Show on Monday, Stewart seized on Vance’s narrative.

“I’m sorry, Vance,” Stewart said.

“Are you seriously suggesting that immigrants have brought a culture of revolution and protest to France? What are you talking about? Have you ever been to the theater? Can you not hear the people sing? Do you know why Versailles is a museum? It used to be someone’s house full of people with heads.

Do you wanna know how French, real French these protests were?” Stewart then rolled news footage confirming that “the latest demonstration saw protestors swarm Paris’s historic Place de la Bastille.” “They stormed the Bastille,” Stewart said.

“Other than adultery, it’s the most French thing you can do.

It’s like blaming immigrants in America for remembering the Alamo.

Riots are just a part of the general ambiance of France.” The late-night host highlighted how Vance’s viral post was just the latest example of a recurring strategy to deflect from domestic policy failures.

Stewart played footage from a town hall where an audience member directly asked Vance: “Why are you scapegoating immigrants for the issues you’re supposed to be solving as the vice president?” After Vance replied, “I appreciate the question,” Stewart quickly interjected.

“In no way, not in any planet, not in any timeline does JD Vance appreciate that question,” Stewart said.

“He f--king hates that question.

It makes his beard itch.

And that might be your first tell that the answer this young woman is going to get is not going to be the real one.” In the clip, Vance offered a rare moment of retreat, telling the voter, “To the extent my rhetoric has been imperfect here, that’s on me.” Stewart gasped mockingly at the line.
