Comedian and television host Jon Stewart dropped a reality check on his liberal audience about President Joe Biden and his age during a recent Los Angeles comedy show.
The host of “The Daily Show” was speaking about the upcoming presidential election during part of Netflix Is a Joke Fest when he declared that the 81-year-old Democrat should not be in the White House.
“Why are we allowing this?” he asked during his “Jon Stewart and Friends” show at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles last week.
“And now we’re going to have a president that’s [one of] the two oldest people that have ever run for the office of the presidency,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old’ — don’t say what people see with their own eyes! You can say it, he can’t hear us,” Stewart joked. “I know you know how f—ing old he is, and I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so f—ing old. When you watch him on television, you’re nervous, aren’t ya?”
“I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president,” Stewart added, claiming that Trump is able to lie his way out of things and that supporters of the former president are not living in reality,
The 61-year-old comedian has taken aim at Biden before, angering Democrats in February when he returned to hosting “The Daily Show” and mocking those who insisted that the president is “sharp” and “focused.”
“If you’re telling us behind the scenes he’s sharp and full of energy and on top of it… you should film that,” Stewart said at the time.

“These two candidates … are both similarly challenged,” he had said of Biden and Trump.
“And it is not crazy to think that the oldest people in the history of the country to ever run for president might have some of these challenges,” he said, adding that Biden should not be “less subject to scrutiny” than Trump. “It actually makes him more subject to scrutiny.”
Biden is POTUS because of the simple fact, even more pronounced today, that the Democrats HAVE NO BENCH(!).
