Stewart: GOP Will Do Whatever It Takes to Save Americans, Except When They Won’t

Jon Stewart said Thursday night Republicans want to do whatever is necessary to save American lives, except when it comes to things like heart disease or gun deaths or… you get the idea.

Stewart first tackled the media freakouts over ebola and ISIS with the very calming “you might have heard we’re all gonna die.” He mocked some of the more ridiculous theories being thrown out about how to deal with these threats.

But what really rubbed Stewart the wrong way is Republicans saying they want to do whatever it takes to save Americans… with a few exceptions. Stewart pointed to bigger killers of Americans like heart disease, gun deaths, etc. to show that Republicans won’t do “whatever it takes” to stop things that are actually killing Americans.
