Jon Stewart Slams Critics of Mitt Romney’s Mormon Faith
Jon Stewart is known for tackling some of the day’s toughest, most controversial issues from a comedic — and leftist — perspective. On Wednesday evening, he delved into Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Mormonism, taking aim at some of the individuals who have attempted to make it an issue during the electoral season. While he went after critics of the faith, he also threw in a few digs at the GOP frontrunner.
“There’s nothing frightening about [Romney] being a Mormon to me,” Stewart said. “Apparently some in the Republican Party’s evangelical base think otherwise.”
Stewart played a number of clips from the past six months from people like Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association, the Rev. Franklin Graham and Pastor Robert Jeffrees. In each instance, these religious figures indicated that the candidate is not a Christian in the traditional sense. Then, the comedian characterized Jeffrees’ most recent endorsement of Romney as an example of: “I hate Barack Obama more than I love Jesus.”
