After tweeting his disinterest in the political position, Stewart highlighted the fact that Republican Senator Pat Toomey shut down the veterans' health care bill. This has been a concern of his for years.
"But while I have your attention, could all of you (including news orgs) please ask Pat Toomey why he is singlehandedly stalling a veterans health care bill that passed (with) huge bipartisan support over a technicality?" he wrote. "Asking for 3.5 million friends."
