For over a decade, Jon Stewart helped America make sense of its dysfunctional political system as the host of The Daily Show.
He had an uncanny ability to balance side-splitting humor with insightful, and often inspiring, monologues on the state of this country.
This is why a lot of people were pretty excited when he spoke with David Axelrod at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics on Monday, offering some of his views on the election.
Multiple outlets reported on the fact Stewart called Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, a man-baby.
While this is hilarious, and pretty accurate when it comes down to it, almost no one covered what he also said about Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner.
Stewart really laid into the former secretary of state, essentially stating he has no idea what she really believes.
What he said is definitely worth listening to.

(1,820 posts)We can't all be wrong about Hillary. So many of us feel the same. Something inside screams to me not to vote for her! I hope I am wrong if she wins this. More I hope the DNC will learn to promote better candidates or we will end up just like the republicans, dying!
