Jon Stewart tears into Fox News for ‘lying like motherf*ckers’ about Obamacare
Instead of attacking President Barack Obama and the Affordable Care Act on substantive grounds, Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show on Monday, Fox News has insisted on going over-the-top with threats that have been debunked, criticized or otherwise “total bullsh*t.”
“Yes, the president has been somewhat dishonest about the promise of his health care program,” Stewart argued. “But here’s the weird part: his opponents have been lying like motherf*ckers about its effects.”
Stewart did chide Obama for his insistence in 2009 on saying, “Period” after promising that all policy holders would be able to keep their existing plans after the law was implemented, only to have to add that they could do so “if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”
“No, no, no, no, no,” Stewart replied. “What you said was, you can keep it. Period. Now what you said there was more like, ‘You can keep your health care plan … elipses. Comma, because it may no longer meet the minimum requirements, or your insurance company may stop offering individual plans or some other odd bureaucratic offshoot. Period. Emoticon depicting a combination of embarrassment and arrogance.”
