Jon Stewart tears into Trump supporters: 'This country isn't yours'

  Jon Stewart is supremely bothered that he and his Leftist fellow travelers might have their efforts to demoralize and destroy America severely curtailed should Trump and the Republicans win big. Good! He should be worried. The Left always tells us who and what they are afraid of. We get it Jon, you hate all of us "real Americans”. You feel threatened by us for some unfathomable reason. You want to see us demoralized, dispossessed and impoverished and at the mercy of our enemies. When you are taking a lot of flack from the Leftist talking heads it means you are over the target they want to protect… so bombs away Donald Trump!

============================================

Jon Stewart sat behind Stephen Colbert's desk on Thursday night following the Republican National Convention and provided a furious rebuke to the commentary offered during the four-day event.
"The Republicans appear to have a very clear plan for America. They articulated it throughout the convention. No. 1, jail your political opponent. No. 2, inject Rudy Giuliani with a speedball and a Red Bull enema. And then No. 3, spend the rest of the time scaring the holy bejesus out of everybody," Stewart joked on Thursday's episode of The Late Show.
Stewart mocked conservative media, particularly Sean Hannity, for how it has embraced Donald Trump as a candidate, despite the fact he shares many traits Conservatives slammed Barack Obama for possessing, including a reliance on teleprompters.
He then addressed Hannity and other Republicans about their hypocrisy in supporting Trump for president. "You just want that person to give you your country back, because you feel you're this country's rightful owners," Stewart said. "There's only one problem with that: This country isn't yours. You don't own it. It never was. There is no real America. You don't own it. You don't own patriotism. You don't own Christianity. You sure as hell don't own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police, and firefighters. Trust me. I saw a lot of people on the convention floor with their Blue Lives Matter rhetoric, who either remained silent or actively fought against the 9/11 first responders bill reauthorization. I see you, and I see your bulls---. I see it!"
The former Daily Show host closed his speech by slamming Republicans for not being true to the Founding Fathers -- while also getting in a reference to Hamilton.
"You've got a problem with those Americans fighting for their place at the table. You got a problem with them because you feel like -- what's Rep. Steve King's word for it? -- subgroups of America are being divisive. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the founders. We hold these truths to be self evident," Stewart said, before singing, "that all men are created equal" in the style of the Hamilton song "The Schuyler Sisters." He finished by giving a shoutout to Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and offering a plea for inclusion. 
"Those fighting to be included in the ideal of equality are not being divisive; those fighting to keep those people out are," Stewart said.
