Since retiring from hosting the Daily Show, Jon Stewart has focused on helping veterans and first responders. For the last few weeks, Stewart has been pushing for the PACT Act over cable news. And the comedian has made enemies out of many Republican lawmakers.

Stewart is the worst nightmare for the GOP; he is an excellent communicator who can easily break down complex legislation while also being able to bury lawmakers with a cutting remark. And Conservative media has had a difficult time attacking him. Tucker Carlson attempted to do so on Thursday with poor results.
Carlson began his rant, “Around the end of the Obama administration, Jon Stewart disappeared, and you didn’t hear anything from him. He’s resurfaced, showing up in Washington, D.C. the other day, looking like a guy who lives in the men’s room at your public library, eating imaginary insects out of the air.”

After playing a recent clip of Stewart dressing down alt-right troll Jack Posobiec, The Fox host continued, “That’s Jon Stewart? The famous Jon Stewart looks like a homeless mental patient. He’s shrieking and disheveled, and very short. Really short. Too short to date.”
The former Daily Show host took to Twitter to respond to Carlson, writing, “Friends. Tonite I am sad. Tucker Carlson believes me too short to date…and yet somehow, miraculously, I remain tall enough to not know what Victor Orban’s ass tastes like! Is it goulash Tucky? Seems like it would be goulash.”
