Social media users criticized Comedy Central host Jon Stewart<\/a> on Tuesday for comparing New York City Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani to baseball legend Jackie Robinson.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Mamdani<\/a> on “The Daily Show,” Stewart said the Muslim candidate was having a “bit of a Jackie Robinson moment” \u2013 suggesting that Mamdani trailblazing a political path as an ethnic minority was like Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I think any New Yorker who looks at someone getting an opportunity \u2014 who\u2019s representing communities that have not been as represented \u2014 a Muslim, a young person, a progressive, a democratic socialist, there are so many different communities that are looking to you,” Stewart said.<\/p>\n

He added, “And this \u2014 I hate to put it on you \u2014 is a bit of a Jackie Robinson moment. And I know that probably wields some weight. But man, oh man, what an exciting opportunity.”<\/p>\n

Multiple prominent social media users blasted Stewart\u2019s comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conservative, pro-Jewish commentator “The Persian Jewess” accused the late-night host of hypocrisy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She wrote, “Jon Stewart makes around $25 Million\/yr for The Daily Show. His staff make $65K to $110K\/yr. If he likes communism so much, he should share his million dollar paycheck with his staff instead of pushing a pro-terrorist radical on New York City.”<\/p>\n

Conservative commentator Paul Szypula said that Stewart disgraced Robinson\u2019s legacy<\/a> with the comparison.<\/p>\n

“Jon Stewart disgraces the great legacy of baseball\u2019s Jackie Robinson by comparing Zohran Mamdani to him. Robinson was a hero who helped break the color barrier in MLB. Mamdani is a jihadist who is helping break NYC into pieces. Shame on Stewart.”<\/p>\n

Conservative podcaster Dave Rubin<\/a> slammed the host, stating, “Jon Stewart could\u2019ve been a sane liberal bulwark against the radical lunatic democrats. Instead, he cheered them on. Eventually, he\u2019ll realize he was just a pawn\u2026”<\/p>\n

Sports journalist Michele Tafoya wrote, “So now Jon Stewart thinks antisemitic socialists are like Jackie Robinson?\u00a0The same Jon Stewart that fought for 9\/11 first responders who died after terrorists flew into the World Trade Center? Did he ask Mamdani to denounce terrorism?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conservative activist James Lindsay<\/a> ripped Stewart\u2019s comparison of Mamdani to Robinson.<\/p>\n

“Jackie Robinson literally couldn’t eat at restaurants or stay at hotels due to his race, while nepo kids like Mamdani grew up in the wealth like attending a $60k\/yr private school and being the kid of a famous filmmaker. Jon Stewart is a propagandist.”<\/p>\n

Musician John Ondrasik commented, “This should forever eliminate @jonstewart from a seat at the culture table. I can\u2019t think of anything more revolting than equating a terrorist socialist simp to Jackie Robinson.”<\/p>\n
