Jon Stewart roasts Biden over ‘weird’ reaction to Trump trial verdict

Jon Stewarthas roasted President Joe Biden for his “f***ing weird” reaction toDonald Trump’s conviction in his criminal hush money trial.

Last Thursday, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, whose story of an alleged affair threatened to derail his 2016 presidential campaign.

The convicted felon’s actions were part of a conspiracy to stop damaging information coming to light as he campaigned for the White House.

The day after the verdict was handed down, Biden held a press conference where he was asked by a reporter what his response was to Trump calling himself a “political prisoner” and blaming the president for his conviction.

Biden offered no verbal response but looked directly into the camera and flashed a grin, before walking off.

The moment sent social media into something of a frenzy.

On Monday night,The Daily Show host Stewart poked fun at Biden’s reaction.

“Why does everything have to be so f****** weird? Why?” he asked.

“If you have something to say about it, say it. If you don’t have something to say about it, don’t say it. But you’re just going to stop and hit ‘em with some kinda ‘70s sitcom freeze-frame?”

Stewart then rolled the clip of the president, which he called the “Cheshire Cat press conference encore,” and set a retro TV theme tune over Biden’s grinning momeny. “And President Biden as ‘Colonel Butters,’” it read.

The Daily Show host described the Democratic party’s reaction to the verdict as very much “an exercise in concealed and controlled glee”, with the party now having to decide how to “exploit the moment politically without giving the impression that this was the plan all along.”
