Jon Stewart, comedian and activist, expresses his fury and frustration with Senate Republicans who blocked the bipartisan Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, or PACT Act, which would have expanded VA health care eligibility to more than 3.5 million post-9/11 combat veterans who were exposed to burn pit toxins while serving.
Comedian and veterans rights advocate Jon Stewart tore into Republican senators on Thursday, after the party blocked legislation that would have extended health care benefits to veterans, including those exposed to toxins from burn pits. “If this is America First,” he said, “then America is fucked.”
