Jon Stewart returned to “The Daily Show” desk Tuesday night and spoke about the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday.
“We dodged a catastrophe, but it was still a tragedy,” Stewart said. He then paid tribute to firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died from the shooting.
“He had given his life in service to his community and he died literally shielding his family,” Stewart said of Comperatore. “He’s a reminder that in those moments of crisis, there are helpers, and we can all make a choice to try and be one of those people.”
