Jon Stewart Pokes Fun At DNC For Lining Up Apparently Contradictory Speakers

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart poked fun Friday night at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) lining up apparently contradictory side-by-side speakers.

“They had a guy yelling ‘screw the billionaires’ followed immediately by a very happy billionaire,” Stewart said as images of Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker appeared beside him. Sanders spoke at the DNC before Pritzker.

As the crowd erupted with applause and cheering, Stewart jeered, “‘It’s all okay if it’s our billionaire!'”

Pritzker is the world’s 946th most wealthy person, having a net worth of $3.5 billion, according to Forbes.

Stewart took a moment to compose himself before mocking the DNC again by saying, “‘I don’t like billionaires, but he’s alright!'”
