Jon Stewart on why Donald Trump's not unique: "Have you listened to the Nixon tapes?"

Salon  

No longer under pressure to produce daily political commentary, former Comedy Central host Jon Stewart offered a take on the election that is sure to offend both conservatives and liberals. “I don’t believe that we are a fundamentally different country today than we were two weeks ago,” Stewart said in an interview with “CBS This Morning” host Charlie Rose. The same country that elected Donald Trump elected Barack Obama.” The former “Daily Show” host also took a slightly different tack from others and argued that Trump’s win was made possible by widespread skepticism toward government and politics, an attitude that he said was deliberately created by Republicans. The former reality-television star, said Stewart, “is not a Republican; he’s a repudiation of Republicans.” But Stewart also criticized people on the left and he accused some of them of lacking historical perspective in believing that Trump is uniquely terrible. Seemingly referring to the recent controversy over Trump’s recent decision to hire Stephen Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart News, as his top strategist, Stewart argued that people seemed to have insufficient historical knowledge.
