Jon Stewart was in disbelief Tuesday after Republicans actually tried to place blame for the government shutdown on Democrats.

“The party of personal responsibility ain’t takin’ none,” Stewart said.

After House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that he reneged on a deal for a clean continuing resolution with Senate Democrats because he and Republicans decided “to take a stand” against Obamacare, Stewart lost it. 

“They had a deal but…Obamacare!” Stewart said.

“Look, you think Obamacare’s a big enough threat to this country that you need to shut down the government over it, fine. Own it,” he continued. “Don’t fart and point at the dog.”
