Jon Stewart Addresses Arrest of French Comedian “Je Suis Confused”

Stewart commented on the release of the new issue of Charlie Hebdo, which is a wonderful thing. But has some questions and concerns about the arrest of a French comedian on the heels of an inspirational march on Sunday by millions supporting free speech. The march made it clear that expression without fear of persecution is a basic and essential right, and so the recent arrest of French comedian Dieudonné and others, is perplexing at the least.

Despite that Dieudonné made some dispicable statements, Stewart points out “that’s what the unfriend button is for.” Arresting someone for saying something days after a rally supporting the right of free expression is “a little weird” Stewart says.
