Jon Stewart lambasts Biden over debate performance: 'This cannot be real life'

WASHINGTON (TND) — Comedian Jon Stewart after Thursday’s presidential debate lambasted the performance by President Joe Biden, saying he did little to help his reelection bid.

In a segment of “The Daily Show,” Stewart took images from throughout the debate showing Biden with his mouth ajar and eyes wide. The host mocked the images, saying Biden looked “not great.”

A lot of people have resting 25th Amendment face,” he joked in reference to the constitutional article allowing the president to be replaced. “I’m not a political expert, but while President Biden was preparing at Camp David for a week, did anyone mention he would also be on camera?”

Stewart continued, saying the portion of the debate focused on Roe v. Wade should have been “Trump’s weakest issue.” After Biden countered with “it’s been a terrible thing,” Stewart jokingly begged him not to say anything else.

“Did you just ‘immigration’ abortion?” he asked after Biden’s tangent tied in control of the southern border. “How do I do this, do I take [Trump’s] car back to the White House tonight?”

After flaming the CNN commentators’ “dumba— rules,” Stewart touched on rumors that Biden was using stimulants to remain alert during the debate.

Let me just say after tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs,” he said. “As much of it as they can get as many times a day as their bodies will allow.”

This cannot be real life,” he added. “It just can’t. F--- it, we’re America!”

The debate has many Americans concerned over Biden’s capability to command the country. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, announced Friday he will propose a resolution calling for Vice President Kamala Harris to replace Biden.
