In new artwork, Jim Carrey praised Jon Stewart for advocating 9/11 first responders and blasted Rudy Giuliani, who was mayor of New York City during the terrorist attacks.
“Kudos Jon Stewart for supporting the heroes of 9/11 who gave all to fulfill their duty while Congress, as usual, ran to hide from theirs like cockroaches when you turn the lights on. And speaking of insects where is ‘America’s Mayor’? Shouldn’t Rudy be fighting for these people?,” the actor-turned-artist tweeted.

Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" return was no laughing matter.
“Papa” visited with Trevor Noah Monday to campaign for the extension of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
The legislation, which Congress already let expire on October 1, provided funding for healthcare programs aiding first responders of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Stewart, dumbfounded by the lack of congressional support, voiced his disdain following a largely unsuccessful trip to Washington D.C. in which he and a group of first responders attempted to visit with congressmen to sway their vote:
After a sit-down with first responder Kenny Specht, who first appeared on Stewart’s Daily Show in 2010 as part of a panel meant to encourage the legislation’s initial enactment, the former host asked viewers to tweet using the hashtag #WorstResponders, urging Congress to pass an extension:
Have at it, folks: Were you glad that Stewart’s return was tied to a worthy cause? Sound off below.
