Even by the standards of flippant Nazi analogies, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart had an especially ill-timed Nazi comparison on Wednesday as he taped The Weekly Show podcast before Charlie Kirk’s assassination and ahead of its Thursday release. According to Stewart, President Trump sending ICE to Chicago can be roughly analogized with Nazi invasions in World War II.
Stewart began, “It is, we’re taping this on Wednesday, September 10th, it’s gonna be airing tomorrow, and today is the day they launched Operation Midway Blitz. Named for the city of Chicago and what the Nazis did through Europe. What could go wrong?”
