Jon Stewart has mercilessly mocked Democrats as he accused them of putting up a lousy resistance to Donald Trump after his electoral landslide.
The comedian, 61, told “la Resistance” to Trump on Monday to “get in the saddle” on the latest episode of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.
Stewart lamented that liberals were “clear” about the threat facing Trump’s presidency before the Republican won but now appear to be softening their rhetoric.
He singled out married Morning Joe stars Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who stopped short of saying Trump is a fascist and met with him at Mar-a-Lago to “restart communication.”
“Joe and Mika Brzezinski Scarborough, who famously warned of the growing threat of Trump’s fascism, had an interesting announcement to make,” Stewart began.
“We haven’t learned anything!” he shouted about the couple’s meeting with Trump.
“Even those who oppose Trump’s agenda don’t seem to understand who they are dealing with.”
Stewart continued his attack on Scarborough: “Oh, I bet you really laid down the gauntlet, Joe.
“I bet you actually made it happen [Trump] You got it, didn’t you, Joey?’

Stewart also played a clip where Brzezinski asked, “Why don’t we meet?” [Trump]?’
“Um, because you said he was Hitler!” Stewart responded.
Stewart then did an impression of Brzezinski trying to talk to Trump about his “outrageous rhetoric” but was distracted by macaroons.
Stewart also went after President Joe Biden for going to Brazil’s Amazon this week.
“What the hell?” Stewart pondered. “Amid all this, he disappeared into the rainforest?”
Stewart also urged Democrats to “exploit the loopholes” instead of “complaining about the standards over and over again” to get things done.
“They don’t care about your standards,” he continued. “They will exploit any loophole, even if it means going through clearly closed windows.”
Stewart implored Liberals to “become the loophole that figures out how to get things done.”

“The Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are in the nurse’s office because they have their balls glued to their thighs,” the comedian added.
Scarborough and Brzezinski have drawn backlash from conservative and liberal media figures after revealing they met with the president-elect on Friday.
The View’s Ana Navarro was among the liberal media figures who unleashed a blistering on-air tirade in response to the couple’s surprise visit to Mar-a-Lago last weekend.
The political strategist attacked the married MSNBC hosts during their trip to see Trump, calling it “opportunistic” during her rant. She asked if the two had “change.”[d] their stripes” because of “who has the power.”
On the MAGA side, Megyn Kelly also went after Scarborough and Brzezinski and told them to “go fuck themselves.”
“Shut the fuck up, you dishonest jokes from fake journalists,” Kelly said Monday, reminding her audience that Morning Joe hosts initially supported Trump’s bid for the presidency in 2016.
“It’s sickening, it’s so stomach-churning,” Kelly added. “They’re so disgusting.”
The MSNBC hosts dismissed the criticism Tuesday, saying it only proves there is a “huge gap” between “social media and the real world.”
