Late-night talk show hosts Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers on Monday night criticized the Senate Democrats who ended their party’s blockade and voted to end the federal government shutdown, saying they “caved” to the Republicans and President Donald Trump while failing to secure guarantees on extending health care subsidies.
“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart dedicated his entire opening monologue to the matter and started off telling the audience, “I can’t f—ing believe it…They f—ing caved on the shutdown…not even a full week removed from the best election night results they've had in years.”
Stewart continued to call out the Democrats, saying: “You had the wind at your back, election victories all over the country…You sold out the entire shutdown not to get what you wanted, but for a promise to not get what you wanted later.”
