Jon Stewart Fight Back Tears When He Receives 9-11 Responders’ Gift

Comedian Jon Stewart usually makes people laugh till their sides split, but he was brought to tears by an incredible gift from firefighters.

Just before he could testify at a judicial committee over congress’s failure to ensure a 9/11 victims’ compensation fund never runs out, he was given the turnout coat of legendary firefighter Ray Pfeifer who died due to 9/11 related cancer.

He then went on to give a fiery testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, it was passed unanimously by the panel.

Pfeifer had died back in 2017 and Stewart had given the eulogy.

“[God the Sovereign Savior] To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

Psalm 18:1-2
