"Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) took a not-so-veiled swipe at Jon Stewart over the criticism he has received for delaying a bill to provide healthcare to those who’ve suffered from exposure to toxic burn pits.
Toomey and several of his Republican colleagues have come under criticism in recent days for blocking the PACT Act, legislation aimed at providing benefits to veterans and 9/11 first responders who’ve been exposed to burning toxic chemicals. Stewart has been at the forefront of protests against the bill’s delay, and in an interview on Sunday with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Toomey was asked to justify his position to those who have suffered without those health benefits."
