Over at Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Jon Stewart mocked Fox’s Laura Ingraham for joking everyone should now shop at Banana Republic, “After this trial, we need to shop at Old Navy, because our country is a sinking ship. It was a sham! A sham!... Yes, we empaneled grand juries, and submitted evidence, and cross-examined witnesses, but how was Donald Trump or his family not allowed on the jury?”
After a clip of Sen. Tim Scott claiming Trump is the victim of a weaponized justice system, Stewart added, “Somebody should mention that to such unprotected Democrats as Senator Robert Menendez and Congressman Henry Cuellar, both facing corruption charges brought by our Department of Justice. Not to mention, Hunter Biden was facing jury selection in a federal gun charges trial [bleep] today! It's why you probably noticed everyone on Fox & Friends this morning using pillows to cover their boners.”
