Jon Stewart Rips Rand Paul for Blocking 9/11 Victim Compensation Bill

Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart on Wednesday ripped Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., after he blocked a measure providing compensation to 9/11 workers, saying the price tag was too high. A furious Stewart told Bret Baier during an appearance on Fox News. “What Rand Paul did today on the floor of the Senate was outrageous.” Paul said he would offer an amendment on the cost of the bill, titled the Never Forget the Heroes Act, when it reaches the Senate floor. Stewart last month spoke before the House Judiciary Committee on reauthorizing the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.He said Paul’s reasoning wasn’t good enough.
