Overview
- Stewart’s Monday Daily Show segment used sharp language to question conservative toughness, asking, “When did the right become such f***ing p*****s?” and calling the movement’s self-pity “pathetic.”
- He mocked right-wing backlash to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance and to Olympians critical of President Donald Trump, highlighting the creation of a conservative “safe space” alternative halftime show by Turning Point USA.
- To argue a role reversal since 2017, Stewart spotlighted a Fox News “signs of snowflakery” graphic and contrasted it with current conservative complaints about offense and speech.
- PinkNews reports that Trump urged a Super Bowl boycott, and several Republican lawmakers called for FCC or congressional scrutiny of the broadcast.
- Bad Bunny’s halftime show drew about 135.4 million viewers, while Turning Point USA’s alternative stream drew roughly 6.1 million concurrent viewers, according to figures cited by PinkNews.
