Jon Stewart rips into ‘narcissistic media’ over response to mass shootings after Michigan tragedy
Daily Show host questions Trump after Michigan church shooting
- Jon Stewart criticised the media's "left-right blame game" and Donald Trump's response to the country's gun crisis on his show.
- His remarks followed a mass shooting at a Michigan church, which killed four people, one of six such incidents across the US on September 29.
- Stewart contended that mass shootings are caused by a complex interplay of mental health, weapon access, and other factors, not solely political rhetoric.
- He questioned Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, instead of the cities affected by the recent shootings.
- Stewart also highlighted Donald Trump's apparent misperception of Portland, contrasting it with the reality presented by Oregon's governor.
