The satirist who’s been dubbed “Egypt’s Jon Stewart” used his Twitter feed on Wednesday to issue a series of rebukes against the Muslim Brotherhood, the political party that has been the subject of massive protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square.
In a series of Tweets, Bassem Youssef called the Muslim Brotherhood a “disgrace” and “the new form of Nazis,” while arguing that Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi — who the comedian called a “lunatic” — should be put on trial.
Youseff welcomed the actual Jon Stewart on his program last month.
Below, a collection of Youseff’s tweets:
We have a lunatic not a president his speech is enticing violence and he’s holding to legitimacy that was nulled by millions in the streets
