Jon Stewart Returns to the Daily Show, Yells at Congress For Failing 9/11 First Responders
LatestLast night, Jon Stewart stopped by The Daily Show. But it wasn’t to reminisce; it was to castigate Congress for sitting around once again doing dick-all for 9/11 first responders.
The New York Times reminds us that back in 2010—after much effort—Congress passed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which provided healthcare to those who’d assisted in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks. (Which—imagine!—wasn’t great for their health.) Stewart was vocal in his support of the bill.
