Jon Stewart went after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Monday to urge him to usher through passage of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund.
Stewart and first responders had testified before a congressional panel last week to discuss the need to reauthorize the fund, which was set up after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to help pay for medical and economic losses as a result of the terrorist attacks. Now, 18 years later, it’s running out of money and has to make steep cuts to its payments unless it’s reauthorized.
During the segment, Stewart appears from beneath Colbert's desk to address McConnell, the Kentucky Republican. He started by addressing comments McConnell had made during a Fox News interview on Monday. McConnell had said, "many things in Congress happen at the last minute...we will address it again. I don't know why he's all bent out of shape," referring to Stewart.
