“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart on Monday night spotted some truly unusual moments in the footage of what happened when a gunman tried to gain entry into the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner over the weekend.
“Nobody revealed their true colors more than the Trump administration,” he said, then critiqued how several key insiders bolted from the scene at Saturday’s event.
One in particular stood out ― and not in a good way.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was “whisked away by a Secret Service hive, who apparently couldn’t spare one worker bee” for his wife, actor Cheryl Hines.
Hines was seen on camera well outside the protective bubble that had formed around her husband, with an arm extended, “desperately reaching out” for help but not receiving it.
“How fucked up is that scene?” Stewart asked, then pointed out a man in the foreground of that same footage protecting his pregnant wife as they both fled.
“See, RFK? Turned out, that’s an option,” he said. “You can protect your wife instead of, I don’t know, beating her to the escape pod.”
But what really blew Stewart’s mind was the identity of the man protecting his wife.
“The guy who outshined you is Stephen fucking Miller!” he told Kennedy. “That’s who outshined you! That’s who was more chivalrous!”
Miller is Trump’s deputy chief of staff and the architect of President Donald Trump’s draconian anti-immigration policies and crackdowns on migrants. Stewart described Miller as “a guy who probably jerks off to the new ‘Faces of Death’ movie,” then said to Kennedy: “And now, for the rest of your life, your wife is gonna ask you a question no one’s ever asked before, ever: ‘Why can’t you be more like Stephen Miller? Why?’”
