Jon Stewart slams Tuberville’s ‘psychotic’ California wildfire comments: ‘There’s something wrong with you’

Daily Show host Jon Stewart said that Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s, R-Ala, comments that California did not deserve aid to assist with the Los Angeles wildfires were “psychotic.

On Monday, Tuberville told Newsmax that other states should not be bailing out California as the crisis is the result of voters choosing to elect “imbeciles”

Tuberville stated he was fine with sending some federal assistance if California abided by certain conditions.

“I don’t mind sending them some money, but unless they show that they’re gonna change their ways and get back to building dams and stormwater, doing the maintenance with the brush and the trees – everything that everybody else does in the country, and they refuse to do it – they don’t deserve anything, to be honest with you, unless they show us they’re gonna make some changes,” he said.

During a segment on The Daily Show Monday, Stewart expressed anger at Tuberville and other Republicans that are trying to attach their, “I told you so’s as a condition of funding California’s disaster relief.”

Stewart responded to a clip of Tuberville’s Newsmax interview saying that the senator’s comments were “psychotic” and that despite Alabama’s horrible educational benchmarks aid would never be conditioned for disaster relief.

“Really senator from Alabama?” Stewart said.

“The state near the bottom in math, reading and test scores. Next time you get hit by a f****ng hurricane, why don’t we have a little parent teacher conference to see that if you got your scores up, you would get the money, or actually, let’s not do it, because you’ll get the money anyway, because we’re not f****ng psychos. That is psychotic. There’s something wrong with you.”

Stewart went on to list other Republican lawmakers making similar statements.

“Red states are always the tragic victims of circumstances outside of their control, and Democrats always vote for their aid,” Stewart said. “Whereas blue state disasters are a function of their flawed morality and policy. And if we help blue state survivors, what message will that send? What lesson will they learn?”

According to the Associated Press, 24 people have died and thousands of homes have been lost as a result of the Los Angeles wildfires
