In one of the most devastating, emotionally shattering, and righteous testimonies ever delivered on Capitol Hill, Jon Stewart took a flamethrower to the rank hypocrisy of the House Judiciary Committee. Standing on behalf of the ailing and dying heroes of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund, Stewart looked at a sea of empty congressional chairs and laid bare the absolute shame of our political establishment. While first responders with bodies riddled with cancer dragged themselves to Washington to beg for their lives, the very politicians who tweeted out "Never Forget" couldn't even bother to show up. Stewart completely dismantled the toxic, budget-stalling excuse that healthcare for first responders is merely a "regional New York issue," delivering a fierce reality check that echoed across the nation: "Al Qaeda didn't shout 'death to Tribeca.' They attacked America." Watch the exact moment Stewart exposes the disgusting political football games played behind closed doors, reminding lawmakers that while the FDNY and NYPD responded to the regular citizen's cry for help in a mere five seconds, Congress has spent nearly two decades stalling. #JonStewart #911FirstResponders #VictimCompensationFund #EmptyCongress #AlQaedaDidntShoutTribeca #FDNY #NYPD #NeverForget #AccountabilityNow #USPolitics
