"Stewart spent the majority of the second half of the segment going after McConnell, who he said “is the key to getting this done, and so far he has been an enormous obstacle, unwilling to move the bill forward for purely political reasons.” Later Stewart added, "Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky doesn't give a sh*t about anything but politics. The first responders were told the Zadroga Act would be included – they were told this last week – would be included in the transport bill passed last week. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky pulled it out of the transportation bill last week when he didn't get concessions about loosening oil export regulations."
