but the reason he brought the subject up was to show how Fox And Friends were reacting to it and how hypocritical they were for bitching about someone saying things without evidence. That's how the segment ended and it was hilarious.

I guess Dems get held to such a higher standard while Repubs go on and on with absolutely ridiculous allegations with no facts whatsoever. Jon points their insanity out all the time, so maybe he was trying to appear more balanced. Anyway, I agree it was a stupid attack - especially comparing him to Birthers.
