Jon Stewart accused Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of working to 'keep sick veterans suffering' by stalling the PACT Act. The senator responded by saying the bill contained a 'budget gimmick' that he couldn't support.
Jon Stewart says there’s nothing funny when it comes to Senate Republican Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and his recent legislative vote on veterans healthcare.
“‘Not one of these stab-vets-in-the-back senators should get to leave for the summer till this sh— is fixed. Not one.’” Stewart called out Toomey, specifically — whom he’s been going after for weeks over the topic — with a blistering Twitter thread that began, “Congratulations @SenToomey You successfully used the Byzantine Senate rules to keep sick veterans suffering!!!!”
