'Douchebag of vaccination' Jon Stewart 'rips' GOPers and Calif. libs on vaccines; Neglects his own anti-vaxx pandering

Last night on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart went after California liberals as well as presumptive GOP presidential candidates Sen. Rand Paul and Gov. Chris Christie over vaccinations and the current measles outbreak:

But Jon Stewart, of course, ripped everyone but himself and his role in pushing an anti-vax narrative with this interview of vaccine-truther Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. back in 2005. Whoops:

Daily Show should totally skewer anti-vaxxer nutbag Jon Stewart.http://t.co/o84A4EgzAa

Typical Jon Stewart.

And here’s the clip from last night. Jon Stewart does briefly mention the RFJ Jr. segment at about the 8:20 mark, but he doesn’t mention Kennedy by name and he quickly brushes over it by calling him “a guy on the show who was talking about vaccines and all that.” Sorry, Jon. It was way more than that and an honest segment would have included it.
