Sean Hannity and Jon Stewart are often on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. The Fox News and former Daily Show host find themselves agreeing over one subject, veterans.
On Twitter, Hannity sided with Stewart, who shredded Congress for neglecting the predicament of veterans while doing the bidding of defense contractors.
“Don’t often agree with Jon Stewart,” Hannity said. “He’s right on this. It’s total bullshit. Help our vets. Republicans need to own this.”
Stewart is in Washington D.C., advocating for bills to help veterans with medical problems due to the toxic burn pit exposure.
“Congress’ reticence and inaction has caused our veterans community over these many years to negotiate against itself. To negotiate against the need that they have and the need that their population has against the purse strings that the VA and the Congress were holding over them,” Stewart said.
“Defense contractors can’t view the U.S. Congress as Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, while veterans are back there like Oliver with a bowl of gruel asking, ‘Please, sir, may I have some more? It’s bullshit, and it’s gotta stop. And if these bills can finally end this cycle for the veterans. Then we have to get this done.”
