Jon Stewart was not impressed by Democrats who are avoiding guilt-by-association with President Barack Obama as they try to squeak through tight midterm races.

The host of “The Daily Show” on Tuesday took aim at Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes, who has been widely panned for refusing to say whether she voted for the President in 2008.

“‘President Who?'” Stewart joked.

Next he rolled a clip of Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR), who was recently asked if he approved of Obama’s handling of Ebola in the U.S. Pryor bites his lip and appears to stall for a long period.

“You’re acting like she found your porn,” Stewart said.

Last came Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK), who recently said that “the President isn’t relevant, he’s gone in two years.” That baffled Stewart.

“Two years?! He only had a four year term!” he said. “Eh, the rest of the Super Bowl isn’t relevant, it’s gonna be gone in two quarters.”
