Comedy Central host Jon Stewart praised President Donald Trump Monday, saying former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro “oversaw a repressive regime” before he was “reverse-ICEd.”
Trump announced in a Saturday post on Truth Social that federal law enforcement officers arrested Maduro and his wife in Caracas while military units, including the United States Army’s elite Delta Force commando unit, protected the operation. Stewart appeared to humorously chide staffers as they first flashed photos of Trump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Sultan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and the villain from “Stranger Things” before they flashed Maduro’s picture.
“I’m talking about the now-former president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, who was reverse-ICEd and imported – he was actually imported to a jail in Brooklyn. But don’t feel bad. He was a feared and cruel dictator,” Stewart said, pausing as a video clip of Maduro signing “Don’t Worry, Be Happy played.”
