Jon Stewart lashes out at hearing on 9/11 responders bill: “You should be ashamed of yourselves”
Former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s demeanor on Capitol Hill Tuesday was vastly different from the one his fans were accustomed to seeing on Comedy Central. He was there to call for the reauthorization of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, which was established nine years ago to provide health care benefits to first responders and others in the community with illnesses related to the 2001 terror attacks. Now, it’s running short of money.
