You know it’s bad for the president and his supporters on immigration when Jon Stewart calls you out:

To be fair, in the second half of the segment, Stewart did call out the GOP as well for their rhetoric, but some tweeps, including Twitchy-regular Sally Kohn, seem to have missed the entire opener of Stewart’s bit:
Jon Stewart eviscerates GOP attacks on Obama showing leadership on immigration reform — well done, @TheDailyShow http://t.co/zROYNvRKV9

Really? Did you not watch the whole segment? Sheesh. Others agreed with Kohn, however:

But (not a shocker!) Stewart wasn’t exactly consistent in his outrage:

Yep, that’s exactly what Stewart did.
