Stewart, much like his friends on Fox News, opening attacked Biden as incompetent and senile (repeatedly made "chocolate chip cookie" digs). I mean he called Trump "old" gosh, seems fair, if you ignore all the stuff and digs he made about Biden being incompetent and senile without offering a single example of when and how his age impacted his ability to serve as president.
