1:22Now PlayingJon Stewart is getting attacked by his usual lefty admirers after fully throwing his support behind the belief that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab.
The former “Daily Show” host started going viral after a blistering appearance on “The Late Show” Monday in which he scoffed at anyone who doubted that the pandemic originated in Wuhan could not be tied to the major coronavirus-studying lab in the same city.
“The disease is the same name as the lab!” he repeatedly said, saying, “That’s f–ed up.”
His support of the theory — long rubbished by the left after being touted by former President Trump and his administration — appeared to irk host Stephen Colbert, who flailed around for comebacks.
“And how long have you worked for Sen. Ron Johnson?” Colbert asked, comparing Stewart, 58, to the Republican Senator who last week said that evidence of a lab leak “has been hiding in plain sight for months.”
