Jon Stewart, ex-talk show host made a guest appearance in the latest episode of "The Daily Show" and talked about the 9/11 attacks, according to Huffington Post.
The ex-Daily Show host expressed his disappointment towards the Congress party members for their forgetful nature with the current host of the show, Trevor Noah. Jon highlighted the issue of disregard towards the people who lend a helping hand after September 11, 2009, attacks at the World Trade center.
Stewart blamed Congress politicians Paul Ryan, House Speaker and Mitch McConnell, Senate majority leader over the present day health concerns of the people who are suffering cancer and other major respiratory diseases because of the destroyed Trade center debris.
Earlier in 2010, Stewart has supported the "James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act" on his talk show. After the bill expired this September, Jon protested against the Congress senate members for their negligence towards such an important issue.
"It's soon going to be out of money and these first responders, many sick with cancers and pulmonary diseases, have had to travel at their own expense to Washington, D.C., hundreds of time, to plead for our government to do the right thing," said Stewart, reported Business Insider.
Fox News reported that Jon along with Kenny Specht, one of the survivors of 9/11 attacks, urged people to support this issue and protest against Congress to pass the Zadroga Act. Kenny revealed that Senate Mitch has assured him in a November meeting that Congress will look into the matters and take necessary actions to pass the bill.
Jon expressed his anger towards the Congress members stating that they were guilty of holding back the Zadroga Reauthorization Act bill, which according to him will help the diseased people.
CBS News reported that Stewart also revealed how these politicians had earlier used the health issues for their benefits and let the original bill expire without any results. Jon said that Mitch exploited the funding for the Zadroga act and utilized it for his own selfish purpose when he was denied concessions on oil export.
"Mitch has been an enormous obstacle, unwilling to move the bill forward for purely political reasons," said Jon reported Entertainment Weekly. "He doesn't give a sh*t about anything but politics."
Jon made his first appearance on the Comedy Central talk show, after retiring from the host position in August this year, after ruling it for almost 15 years.
