The weeks leading up to the Super Bowl LVIII matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers was full of right-wing conspiracy theories suggesting that the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was just a Liberal ploy to convince people to get vaccines and vote for Joe Biden. And after the Chiefs ultimately won the championship, longtime ‘Daily Show’ host Jon Stewart poked a little fun at those conspiracies.
In his return to the show this week, Jon Stewart sent a pretty brutal message to “the right” for “politicizing” the relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
“It was sadly, a lose-lose for real America. The Kansas City Chiefs are world champions, which means the decades-long plot in which Travis and Taylor brainwash America into getting routine vaccinations is complete,” Stewart joked according to Salon.
“But it was really kind of a no-win for conservatives. I mean, if the Chiefs lost, who wins? The People’s Communist Republic of Gay Pelosistan,” he said. “It’s almost like the right’s ridiculous obsession with politicizing every aspect of American life ruins everything.”
Stewart, like the vast majority of people, seems to think the conspiracies were baseless and not grounded in reality.
