Joe Biden signed legislation on Wednesday the extends veterans’ health benefits to those exposed to toxic burn pits, praising Jon Stewart for his role in rallying public support to compel Congress to act.
“What you have done Jon matters, and you know it does. You should know it really, really matters. You refused to let anybody forget, you refused to let them forget, and we owe you big man, we owe you big,” Biden said.
Stewart, who was present for the East Room ceremony, was given a standing ovation.
Stewart lashed out at Republicans last month for blocking the bill, the Honoring Our Promise To Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, or PACT Act, after a number of GOP members had previously supported it. While some Republicans claimed that a provision was inserted in the bill that would increase spending, Stewart dismissed those concerns.
Outside the Capitol the day after the bill was blocked, Stewart told reporters, “I’m used to the lies..I’m used to the hypocrisy…I am used to all of it, but I am not used to the cruelty.”
The legislation was brought back to the floor last week, and it passed 86-11.
At the White House, Stewart sat in the front row, next to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Members of veterans’ families stopped and hugged him at points during the ceremony.

CNN, former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters offered a defence for his labelling of US President Joe Biden as a war criminal.Waters is currently on tour across North America with his latest stage show, ‘This Is Not A Drill’, having played 15 dates in the region since early July. For the show, Waters’ stage is lined with giant screens, which at one point, display a slideshow of people that Waters has branded as “war criminals”.Biden is shown among the cohort – right after his predecessor, Donald Trump – with a label asserting to concertgoers that the current US President is “just getting started”.Speaking with CNN’s Michael Smerconish (who notes that he’s a fan of Waters’ music, but disagrees with him on some of his political viewpoints), Waters was asked why he considers Biden to be a fit for the inflammatory slideshow.“Well, he’s fuelling the fire in the Ukraine, for a start – that is a huge crime,” the artist answered, rhetorically posing to Smerconish: “Why won’t the United States of America encourage [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, the [Ukrainian] president, to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war that’s killing… We don’t know how many Russians.”Smerconish responds by telling Waters that he’s “got it reversed”, and that the artist is erroneously “blaming the party that got invaded”.
