Jon Stewart is warning Democrats and other critics of Donald Trump against overusing their claims of authoritarianism after the president's first week in office, which included a slew of executive orders undoing former President Joe Biden's work and even contesting the 14th Amendment.
During Monday's episode of "The Daily Show," Stewart returned to his weekly post to decipher the barrage of executive orders and firings that have jumpstarted the Trump administration. In response to liberal pundits insisting that the firings were a "purge," Stewart pulled out a foam axe from under his desk to reference the dystopian slasher franchise.
