Jon Stewart Lets Congress have it Over 9/11 First Responders (Video)
In one of the most powerful videos you will ever see, Jon Stewart sat in front of a mostly empty congress and let them have it.
Funding to help first responders of 9/11 is what this is all about. Former stand-up and talk show host sat in front of only a handful of members of congress and told them how shameful it was that they have done nothing.
There are first responders to 9/11 that continue to die, due to overwhelming health issues. Many are sick and are getting sicker as I type this. Congress has basically taken the stance of, "it's not our problem." So much so, that many members of congress didn't even show up for this hearing!
Take a look and listen to this powerful presentation by Jon Stewart:
