Jon Stewart has a prediction about what’s going to occur to President Donald Trump’s help system if it have been revealed that his title is within the Epstein recordsdata.
In a brand new episode of Stewart’s “The Weekly Present,” set to launch Thursday, the comic confidently asserted that the president will seem within the Epstein recordsdata after e mail correspondence exhibiting Epstein referencing Trump have been launched Wednesday by Democrats on the Home Oversight Committee.
In one of many three emails, the late intercourse offender alleged that Trump “knew about the girls” in his widespread sex-trafficking ring that victimized dozens of underage women.
In one other e mail, Epstein referred to Trump because the “dog that hasn’t barked.” He additionally advised his since-convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, {that a} sufferer of his “spent hours at my house” with Trump.
Trump has repeatedly denied involvement with Epstein. The appropriate-wing chief’s administration has confronted scrutiny from MAGA supporters and others in current months over its dealing with of the case after the Justice Division introduced in a memo in July that there was no proof that Epstein had stored a “client list” or died of causes apart from suicide in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019.
Stewart made his remarks after producer Brittany Mehmedovic stated it was a “very big if” whether or not Trump could possibly be within the Epstein recordsdata.
“If? I’m sorry, if?! Did they not look at the emails today?” the comic fired again. “When did they ask this question? If? He said he was gonna sue — that’s when you know, when Trump comes out, he’s, ‘I’m gonna sue Rupert Murdoch for insinuating that…’ — when was the last time you heard about that lawsuit?”
Stewart added: “It’s gone. It’s gone because he’s in it.”
Mehmedovic then requested the late evening host if he thinks the president “would lose any support” ought to he be discovered within the Epstein recordsdata, to which he bluntly replied, “No.”
A shocked Mehmedovic hit again, “Really?”
“It’s really hard to imagine,” lead producer Lauren Walker chimed in.
Asking his different producer, Gillian Spear, if she thinks Trump may be within the recordsdata, she gave Stewart a loaded response.
“I feel like if there was, like, we already have hit the threshold where it should be disqualifying with so many things with him,” she stated. “What else would you need to see? Like, this guy was one of his best friends. Like, there’s photos of them together.”
Noting that there’s additionally “videos of them together ogling at young women,” she added, “Like, we’ve seen what we need to see. So I don’t know what else could possibly push the needle here.”
Joking that he’s “seen more pictures of [Trump and Epstein] together than with some of my best friends,” Stewart added, “They have more of a scrapbook with each other than many of the people that I’m great friends with.”
Mehmedovic went on to query how the GOP will “spin this” and the way Trump will “get out of this” Epstein scandal, prompting the “Daily Show” host to launch into evaluating Trump to characters from the Looney Tunes animated present.
“The way he gets … like I’ve always said, it’s Wile E. Coyote versus the Roadrunner. And every time we keep thinking, 34 felonies, that’ll get him, oh my God, that thing he said on ‘Access Hollywood,’ and every time Trump just comes in and goes, ‘meep, meep’ and flies away. And I think it’s the same thing.”
Persevering with the comparisons, Stewart stated Trump could possibly be found in images of “him and illegal sex-trafficked women from Epstein in a forced human caterpillar in Bora Bora and they’d find a way to say, ‘Well, but Hunter Biden’s laptop was worse and Burisma and it’s fake and none of it ever happened.’”
The political commentator was referencing the “Human Centipede” film franchise, by which a number of people are surgically related mouth to anus. He additionally referenced the years-long controversy surrounding a laptop computer that belonged to former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
“Gillian’s exactly right. Everything we need to know about it… is that it is plausible because of the relationship that they had — that wasn’t his like softball buddy,” Stewart stated.
He added, “That was his international model buddy. That’s what they did together. They weren’t bingo friends. They weren’t backgammon friends. They didn’t play pickleball. They played tickleball.”
