Jon Stewart mocks Trump’s hypocritical claims: 'What else do you think is election interference?'

07 October 2024

The Daily Show's John Stewart on Monday night called out Donald Trump over what the ex-president claims to be "election interference" – and what he doesn't.

The 2024 GOP nominee often claims Democrats are engaging in election interference against him, but Stewart played a voice over, which reported, "[X owner] Elon Musk is offering hourly pay to anyone willing to encourage people in swing states to register to vote."

Musk wrote via X: For every person you refer, who is a swing state voter, you get $47! Easy money."

Stewart replied, "Oh s—t! He's giving everyone $47? When Trump finds out — when I think of the prison Donald Trump is gonna send that sweet jumping bean of a genius to, it's not gonna be pretty."

The talk show host then rolled a clip of Trump asking a MAGA crowd, "How good a guy is Elon Musk? Right?"

Stewart then said, "What the [BLEEP]? Wait, that's not election interference? Because he's for you? Well, what else do you think is election interference?"

The Daily Show host then turned to another voice over, which reported: "The Donald Trump biopic, 'The Apprentice', does not always portray Donald Trump in a flattering light, and the Trump campaign threatened to sue its filmmakers, calling the film pure fiction and election interference."

Stewart replied, "Oh, come on! That's election interference? It's not-- maybe it's election interference. But you gotta be a little bit flattered that you're being played by Sebastian Stan."
