Jon Stewart worries about Kamala Harris having to concede defeat to Trump before Congress: ‘That has to sting’

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart called out the horrifying spectacle of Vice President Kamala Harris reading her defeat to now-elect Donald Trump in front of cheering members of Congress.

“This has to sting. She says, ‘Um, I can hear you.’ God damn it,” Stewart said at the start of Monday’s show. “It’s like attending your own funeral and even the mourners are like, ‘Wow!’ I can’t imagine anything that would be more uncomfortable than standing there while the crowd applauds your opponent.”

Stewart also noted that Monday was the four-year anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at the Capitol.

“Of course, the ultimate indignity of this January 6th is that Donald Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, because she was the vice president, serves as the emcee… Poor baby,” Stewart said.

Stewart then played a video of House Democrats cheering and applauding Harris after she read her tally of lost votes in the presidential election.

“That sounded stronger!” Stewart said jokingly. “There is so much joy in that room! I think she can still win this thing!”

After endorsing Trump as the next president, Harris couldn’t help but take a jab at her nemesis.

“Well, today was definitely a very important day and it was about what should be the norm and what the American people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power”.

Harris continued: “And today I did what I have done throughout my career, which is to take seriously the oath I have taken many times to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, which includes today carrying out my constitutional duties to ensure that the people of America, the voters of America, will have their votes counted, that those votes matter, and that they will then determine the outcome of the election.”

Later, former Vice President Mike Pence praised Harris for the hard work of presiding over the certification of her defeat to Trump, calling it “particularly admirable.”
