Watch: Jon Stewart rips Republicans on #OWS


by Sunny Hundal    

Last night, after several weeks of Republicans trashing the OccupyWallStreet movement, Jon Stewart of the Daily Show rips their hypocrisy from only a few months ago when they were calling on Americans to “take to the streets” and “take their country back”.

He points out: “It must be tough to love America so much, but hate almost three fourths of the people living in it.”
