Stewart Mocks Ted Cruz Over Reaction to Biden’s Israel Ultimatum
Jon Stewart on Thursday cringed at Ted Cruz’ reaction to President Biden’s announcement this week that he would limit weapons shipments to Israel if its military were to cross the “red line” of invading Rafah, a densely populated city in southern Gaza with an estimated 80,000 Palestinian refugees.
Biden’s decision led to intense backlash from the Republican Texas congressman, who declared in a Thursday press conference that, “Joe Biden has been the greatest friend to Hamas, and Hezbollah, that there is on planet Earth.”
Stewart couldn’t help but mock Cruz, who shared an awkward high-five with Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall. “Nothing says gravitas, like…” Stewart said, while breaking into a dorky impression of Cruz and ending it with a declaration: “You guys are fucking children.”
