TheBlaze’s Buck Sexton Blasts Jon Stewart for ‘Lecturing’ on Racism

The Blaze’s Buck Sexton filled in for Glenn Beck on his radio show today, and he really went after Jon Stewart for his commentary on Ferguson and racial injustice earlier this week. He said Stewart engaged in paternalistic lecturing on behalf of the black community without providing any facts to back him up.

Sexton called Stewart “the most effective mouthpiece of the left” and picked up on one line in particular Stewart used: there are black people in New York City who have a hard time calling a cab. Sexton brought up some statistics to suggest Stewart is vastly overstating this problem.

And beyond that, Sexton said the vast majority of cab drivers aren’t American, so it’s disingenuous for Stewart to say this is an American problem. Sexton also though Stewart was just doing too much talking down to people.

“I’m supposed to be lectured by Jon Stewart, who’s lecturing us about the personal experiences of other people in this country, which he takes on as his own for the purposes of browbeating people who he disagrees with politically.”
