Jon Stewart Comments on Donald Trump's Remarks About Lindsey Graham
Stewart said Trump’s remarks on Graham’s death were unusual and mocked the president for turning the tribute into a joke.
- Jon Stewart dedicated his Daily Show monologue to the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, using the moment to examine the aging political class in Washington following Graham's death at age 71.
- Stewart heavily mocked Donald Trump's "backhanded" social media tribute, pointing out how Trump’s eulogy—which called Graham "one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known"—contrasted sharply with years of highly public, personal insults between the two.
- The late-night host traced the bizarre evolution of their relationship, airing clips of Graham previously calling Trump a "race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot" and "unfit for office," alongside Trump's own retaliatory barbs before Graham transformed into one of Trump’s most deferential congressional cheerleaders.
- The segment highlighted a "bucket list" of items Graham never got to complete, taking satirical aim at the late senator's deeply hawkish foreign policy record and his constant, high-profile media appearances.
- Stewart wrapped up by questioning America's "geriatric political class," using the scramble for power following Graham's death to argue that Washington's leaders are holding onto office far past standard retirement ages.

Kelly’s question stems from the fact that Graham visited a drone facility in Ukraine just 24 hours before he died. In response to Kelly’s question Trump shared “We’ve had great doctors. A…
