Jon Stewart slams Trump for calling Tim Walz 'seriously r******d' on Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON, DC: Jon Stewart torched President Donald Trump for calling Minnesota Gov Tim Walz “seriously r******d” on Thanksgiving, comparing the president’s holiday repertoire to “brain ooze.”

The comedian tore into the incident on Monday night’s episode of 'The Daily Show,' saying he couldn’t believe Trump not only used the slur but also doubled down while speaking to the press afterward. 

Jon Stewart blasts Trump over Thanksgiving slur and press chaos

“On Thanksgiving?! Are you confusing that with Festivus?” Stewart cracked. “And by the way, ‘seriously r******d?’ Not even, like, playfully r******d? Like Mr Bean, you know what I mean? Or celebratorily r******d, like the Black Eyed Peas song? Yeah, they’re very lucky that ‘started’ rhymes with it.”

Stewart said the White House press got stuck “spending the whole holiday weekend down at Mar-a-Lago listening to this brain ooze.”

“And then they couldn’t even go back home by themselves. They had to fly back with this nut and ask him if he wants to clarify any of the nonsense,” he quipped.

The comedian wasn’t optimistic about the history books either, groaning about the inevitable moment “Ken Burns does the documentary on this era.” Stewart insisted the press should’ve known Trump wasn’t about to backtrack, but admitted he was stunned when the president followed up his Truth Social post by saying there was “something wrong” with Walz.

“Something wrong with him?! With him?!” Stewart remarked. “You were sitting with your family on Thanksgiving, belly full of turkey and pie, surrounded by the love of your extended crime family. But your initial instinct was to Truth a slur at Tim Walz? And there’s something wrong with him?”

Trump doubles down on slur against Tim Walz

During a recent Q&A session on Air Force One, a reporter asked Trump directly, “You mentioned Tim Walz and you called him what many Americans do find an offensive word, ‘r******d.’ Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz r******d?”

Trump doubled down on his comments.

“Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him. Absolutely. Sure. You have a problem with it? You know what? I think there’s something wrong with him,” he snapped back. Anybody that would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into his state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia– We give billions of dollars to Somalia. It’s not even a country because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name but it doesn’t function like a country," he argued.

“Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz," Trump concluded.

Trump targets Walz in Thanksgiving Truth Social tirade

It all started days earlier, when Trump fired off a Thanksgiving Truth Social tirade blasting Walz.

“Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses, hoping against hope that they will be left alone," he wrote. “The seriously r******* Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”

Walz didn’t let the insult slide. The Minnesota governor hit back during 'Meet the Press,' warning that Trump is normalizing “this type of hateful behavior and this type of language.”

“At first, I think it’s just because he’s not a good human being. But secondly, it’s to distract from his incompetency [sic],” Walz said.
