Jon Stewart's former correspondent blasts him for 'shielding' comic

The Daily Show producer-host has been publicly blasted, yet again, by his former correspondent Wyatt Cenac, this time, for 'shielding' Trump rally comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.

The 61-year-old Mark Twain Prize winner admitted on the of his Comedy Central show that he finds the 40-year-old insult comic 'very funny' despite him calling Puerto Rico 'a floating island of garbage' and other racially-charged material.

'[Jon excused] the comedian's participation in a xenophobic rally as the fault of the organizers for booking a "roast comedian." Having worked for Jon, his response wasn't really surprising. Disappointing but not surprising,' the outraged 48-year-old wrote on Sunday.
