"What the fuck? Jeff Epstein of Universal Attractions is in charge of—forgive me—recruiting talent for a Donald Trump party?"
On the latest episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart recounted the drama behind the Freedom 250 concert that he has “so been looking forward to.”
Stewart explained that the live concert series, set to be held in Washington, D.C., has “run into some problems.” Several of the originally-announced performers, including Bret Michaels and Martina McBride, have dropped out citing political concerns. “Damn, they didn’t want to be a part of Donald Trump‘s personal and political concert,” Stewart said. “Is anyone still performing?”
He then cut to a clip of Vanilla Ice expressing his excitement for the concert, which is being held in celebration of America’s 250th birthday. “There you go! See? Everybody dropped out, but not Vanilla Ice,” Stewart exclaimed. “Vanilla Ice didn’t drop out. He saw a problem and, yo, he solved it.”
