He may no longer be the host of the Daily Show, but Jon Stewart is still holding Washington D.C. accountable.
The late-night host joined 100 9/11 first responders Wednesday in their fight to permanently renew the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act that is set to expire at the end of the month.
Stewart voiced his outrage that Congress hasn't stepped in to "do what's right."
"I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for our country. I'm embarrassed for New York," he explained in front of first responders and rescuers. "I'm embarrassed that you, after serving so selflessly with such heroism, have to come down here and convince people to do what's right for the illnesses and difficulties that you suffered because of your heroism and because of your selflessness."
