Jon Stewart Monday night hilariously took on Ted Cruz’s hypocrisy.
Jon Stewart wasted no time Monday night, mocking Ted Cruz’s announcement he is running for president.Â
The “Daily Show” host, noting Liberty University’s 13,500 students were required to attend the partisan event, labeled students wearing “I Stand With Rand Paul” tee shirts “somewhat awesome.”
And he mocked Cruz’s “third person autobiography,” pointing out the Texas Senator’s attempt for sympathy as he described going off to college.

“Imagine another teenaged boy… being raised in Houston” Cruz said, “Heading off to school over a thousand miles away from home, in a place where he knew nobody, where he was alone and scared…”
Stewart interrupted: “Dude, you went to Princeton.”

But Stewart’s biggest attack came when he described how Cruz, the small government conservative asking students to “imagine a federal government that protected the privacy rights of every American,” asked all the students to text the word “constitution” to 33733, without telling them why.
“Let me clarify this a little bit: students at Liberty University were required to attend a partisan political speech where a small-government conservative who had just promised he would respect privacy rights told them if they cared about freedom, text your information to a mysterious address that collects your cell phone number for undisclosed purposes,†Stewart quipped.
The race is on.
