‘This Cannot Be Real Life’: Jon Stewart Calls On Candidates To Load Up On ‘Whatever Magical Drugs’ Will ‘Improve Their Lucidity’

Comedian Jon Stewart unleashed on both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the wake of the first presidential debate on CNN as he despaired at and attacked the presentation of both candidates.
In particular, Democrats are expressing real concern following Biden’s underwhelming
performance. The president’s responses prompted discussions about whether the presumptive Democratic nominee should consider withdrawing from the race entirely.
Likewise, Trump’s display came under the usual critical scrutiny as fact-checker CNN journalist Daniel Dale called out Trump’s “staggering number of false” claims, counting a total of 30 misleading statements.
In the post-debate episode of The Daily Show, Stewart said: “Let me just say after watching tonight’s debate, both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs.”
As the audience applauded, he continued: “As much of it as they can get, as many times a day, as their bodies will allow. Performance-enhancing drugs that will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems, and in one of the candidate’s cases, improve their truthfulness, morality, and malignant narcissism. Whatever magical drugs that can kick their brains into gear, because this ain’t Olympic swimming. Oh, he solves the Middle East, but he was doping, so it doesn’t count?”
He added, “And if those drugs don’t exist, if there aren’t actual performance-enhancing drugs for these candidates, I could sure fucking use some recreational ones right now. Because this cannot be real life. It just can’t. Fuck. We’re America!”
