Jon Stewart, host of "The Daily Show", had a simple yet powerful reaction to President Joe Biden's announcement that he would not seek reelection.
Legend.

This isn't the first time Stewart has spoken out about Biden and his political opponents. Earlier this year, he expressed frustration with both Biden and Donald Trump, saying "What the fuck are we doing here, people?" He criticized Biden for losing his step, while calling out Trump for saying things at rallies that would warrant a wellness check.
In a more recent statement, Stewart didn't directly call on Biden to drop out, but urged voters to seek alternatives. He lamented the lack of inspiration and leadership in politics, saying "It is crushing our fucking spirits." Despite his criticisms, Stewart seems to have a begrudging respect for Biden's decision to step aside.
