Jon Stewart blasts Labour Party for not supporting Faiza Shaheen after liking old „Daily Show“ Israel sketch
Across the pond, Jon Stewart has ruffled some British feathers.
Tensions in U.K.’s Labour Party are high after it chose not to back left-leaning Faiza Shaheen, an academic and economist, during her campaign to become a member of parliament. Shaheen was told on Wednesday that her candidacy would not be supported, likely attributed to 14 social media posts she was previously questioned about, Al Jazeera reported. One of these posts, which the Jewish Labour Movement flagged for her „liking“ it, was allegedly an old „The Daily Show“ video featuring a 2014 Israel sketch from Stewart and the show’s correspondents.
