Jon Stewart Ridicules MSNBC for Refusing To Show ‘Disturbing’ Decal of Biden Hog-Tied in a Truck

Daily Show host Jon Stewart ridiculed MSNBC on Monday for refusing to air footage of a “violent and disturbing” decal on the back of a truck which showed President Joe Biden hog-tied.

“This weekend, there was one story that was so disturbing, so dark even the news couldn’t handle it,” declared Stewart on his show, before playing a compilation of MSNBC hosts, including Ali Velshi and Katie Phang, who refused to show the “violent and dehumanizing imagery” on-air due to its “disturbing nature.”

Stewart observed, “This has gotta be devastating. News channels show images from Ukraine, from Gaza, from natural disasters. They get through them dispassionately. I can’t imagine how devastating this footage must be.”

The Daily Show host then finally played the footage, which showed a cartoonish decal of Biden hog-tied in the back of a pick-up truck – a video former President Donald Trump shared on social media.

“That’s what was so disturbing and dehumanizing you wouldn’t show it on television?” questioned Stewart. “An airbrushed Biden decal on the back of a truck?”

He continued, “Aren’t you the same networks that show re-runs of 9/11 every year? I mean, I don’t think it’s great that Trump was posting things like this, but it’s not like people really think Joe Biden was tied up in the back of the truck.”

Stewart then played a clip of Velshi claiming, “If you’re driving behind it, it would appear as if Joe Biden were actually restrained on the vehicle’s flat bed,” which prompted the audience to burst into laughter.

“If you think that’s really Joe Biden tied up on the back of the pickup truck, I don’t know that you have the mental acuity to be operating a motor vehicle,” Stewart concluded.
