Jon Stewart Takes Serious Tone as He Slams Trump Over the Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: ‘I Did Not Think He Would Get This Authoritarian This Fast’
On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart took a more serious tone than usual as he slammed President Donald Trump for the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Stewart opened the segment by explaining the situation surrounding Garcia. According to the late-night pundit, Garcia is an “undocumented migrant from El Salvador” as well as a father and a husband to an American woman. But last month, he was suddenly deported to El Salvador and locked up in a “mega-prison” over an “administrative error,” according to the Justice Department. Stewart then informed the audience that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele visited the White House on Monday, and joked that Garcia could catch a ride with him back to the States.
“You don’t even have to give Garcia the middle seat,” Stewart said. “I’m sure Garcia would just grab the wing and Tom Cruise it over here if he had to.
