Former “Daily Show” host joins Ground Zero first responders on Capitol Hill to support program that monitors people for health problems related to the attacks
Jon Stewart is putting his political knowledge and popularity into action by heading to Congress next week to lobby for the renewal of a health bill that supports 9/11 first responders.
The former “Daily Show” host will offer his support to continue a program that monitors thousands of people for health problems related to their work at Ground Zero, the senator leading the lobbying effort said Tuesday.
Stewart will join Ground Zero first responders making the rounds on Capitol Hill and “will help them amplify their voices” in promoting the need to renew the program, Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told USA Today.
