Jon Stewart did not take kindly on Tuesday to conservatives who dismissed the real world impact brought on by the government shutdown.

There was a parade of strawmen over at Fox News, where hosts claimed that apocalytpic predictions from liberals and Democrats had been proven wrong.

“Yeah, no one told you the sky would fall,” Stewart said. “No one told you that a government shutdown had the same effect as an asteroid hitting the planet.”

Stewart then swatted down Fox host Sean Hannity, who said the shutdown is no big deal because it doesn’t affect him. 

“How bad can it be if it doesn’t personally impact Sean Hannity?” Stewart joked.
