Jon Stewart Absolutely Annihilates Republicans for Opposing Veterans’ Benefits Bill

"The fact that these Senators would try to tie in new Iran sanctions with veterans’ benefits, or dare to say that “we can’t afford” to help those we sent off to war, is absolutely reprehensible. How these senators can sit there and say they support our troops, while blocking an extension to veterans’ benefits, shows what absolute hypocrites they are. And it also shows exactly where the Republican party sits as it relates to helping our veterans.
It’s okay to send them off to war – but they’ll only vote to help those veterans as long as it’s “cost effective” or new Iran sanctions are attached to the bill. Yup, sounds like those “good, wholesome” Republican values to me."
