“Democrats are adamant that we must protect the health care of the American people,” the lawmaker said in the clip while standing beside Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).

Pausing the clip, Stewart cut in to share his reaction. “If you had stopped there, that would be great, but you’re gonna keep talking, aren’t you?” he said of Schumer.

Stewart then finished playing the clip, in which Schumer delivered the cringey joke.

“New data came out today from KFF, and that is not Kentucky Fried French Fries, KFF,” the New York Democrat said before turning to look over at Klobuchar.

“That’d be Kentucky French Fries, hmm?” Schumer added before laughing at his own quip.

Stewart didn’t hesitate to shred Schumer over the comedic flop.

“Who is that joke even for? Six-year-olds that watch C-SPAN? What the fuck are you doing?” Stewart fired off. “Chuck Schumer is a human flat tire.”

He then said, while doing an impression of Schumer, “Look at Klobuchar! Poor Klobuchar.”

Wrapping up his onslaught on Schumer, Stewart added, “That is the face of someone who talked to their dad, who said, ‘Just please don’t do your Indian accent in the restaurant. That’s all I’m asking.’”

Stewart has previously railed against Schumer.

Earlier this year, Stewart called out the Democratic Party for using Schumer as a mouthpiece to combat President Donald Trump.

“Democrats, can you please stop fucking trotting Schumer out there every time Trump traverses into the unreal?” Stewart said during a February episode of “The Daily Show.” “He’s not good at this.”
