Jon Stewart’s most condescending moment ever

Beloved comedian, television host, and political commentator Jon Stewart is best known for his sarcastic political takes on "The Daily Show," which he hosted until 2015.

Stewart passed on "The Daily Show" legacy to his successor Trevor Noah — but now, he’s about to be back in the saddle as the host again on Comedy Central.

But that’s not the only reason Stewart’s name has been gracing the headlines.

In a recently resurfaced interview with Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge, Stewart revealed his more condescending side regarding child genital mutilation — and conservatives like Dave Rubin aren’t pleased.

“Why would the state of Arkansas step in to override parents, physicians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists who have developed guidelines?” Stewart asked Rutledge.

“Well, I think it’s important that all of those physicians, all of those experts, for every single one of them, there’s an expert that says we don’t need to allow children to be able to take those medications,” Rutledge shot back before Stewart interjected, “But you know that’s not true.”

“I don’t know that that’s not true,” Rutledge says, before adding that 98% of those with gender dysphoria are able to move past their issues without medical intervention.

“Wow,” Stewart mocks, “that’s an incredibly made up figure.”

“You’re suggesting that protecting children means overriding the recommendations of the American Medical Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society,” he continues.

“What an absolutely smug, unlikable person,” Dave Rubin comments, disgusted by Stewart’s display.

“Why is Jon Stewart so smug about chemically castrating children?” he asks.
