Jon Stewart appeared on the Colbert show this week and freaked out liberals across the country by suggesting that COVID-19 leaked from the lab in Wuhan, China.
Just a month ago, saying such a thing could get you banned from social media.
Colbert and his liberal fans didn’t quite know how to handle the situation.

Liberals Meltdown After Jon Stewart Hilariously Makes the Case for Lab Leak Theory
Stephen Colbert had his first live show since the start of the pandemic with a fully vaccinated audience and his friend, Jon Stewart, as his guest.
But Stewart caused a liberal meltdown by going all-in on the Wuhan lab leak theory in a rant that was part serious and part incredibly funny.
“So, I will say this,” Stewart said. “And I honestly mean this. I think we owe a great debt of gratitude to science. Science has, in many ways, helped ease the suffering of this pandemic, which was more than likely caused by science.”
Stewart joked about the theory that the virus naturally evolved through animals. “Uh, a pangolin kissed a turtle?…Maybe a bat flew into the cloaca of a turkey and then it sneezed into my chili and now we all have coronavirus?”

He made the point of the interesting coincidence that the place of origin of the virus would be near the lab looking into such things. “There’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania, what do you think happened? I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean? Or it’s the f**king chocolate factory!”

Fuck. That was disappointing. Not just Jon Stewart's anti Chinese rants, but that Stephen Colbert was cool with it.

oof, the Jon Stewart rant on Colbert really ruined the return to a live audience; Colbert lost control of his show for what felt like 5 1/2 hours while Stewart showed off his internet research

@jonstewart Using your time on @colbertlateshow to badmouth science was a wasted opportunity. Also, not funny.

I love Stephen Colbert, but why did he think Jon Stewart's hateful anti Chinese comments tonight were OK? Chinese American have been murdered because of this COVID 19 pandemic. Stewart's comments were straight up Trump style hate speech.
This isn't comedy.

Jon Stewart is now firmly anti-science. Americans believe in science. That is why we wear masks and lockdown to save lives

And that’s just a sample. They just can’t deal!
