To vote, or not to vote? That is the question.
Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart caused a big stir this week when he casually mentioned during an appearance on CNN that he did not vote in the midterm election — he would later backtrack and say he was only kidding.
When word first got out that the host of “The Daily Show” didn’t vote, thanks in part to a tweet from CNN anchor Jake Tapper, liberals were aghast that he did not support the Democrats he spends so much time building up on his show.
Having come across no new audio of the latest backyard brawl, CNN seems to have little else to report on other than whether Stewart voted or not. The host of “New Day,” Chris Cuomo, weighed in on the story with this tweet:
Lots of buzz abt @NewDay#JonStewart chat. Was he joking abt not voting? Did he have to apologize? Should he prove he did vote? Who cares?

Fair enough, pop culture drives ratings. But an unsolicited response from the head of the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, took things to a whole other level:
.@ChrisCuomo, @NewDay Quite sure Jon Stewart voted. It’s easy to check as the record of whether someone cast a vote is usually public.
— D Wasserman Schultz (@DWStweets) November 6, 2014
Where did that come from? Never mind that she tweeted a little more than 24 hours after her party took a drubbing at the polls, leaving one to wonder if she should have more important things to focus on.
As you might expect, social media users were quick to react to the “Orwellian and creepy” reply from the Democrat lawmaker. Even Cuomo felt compelled to reply:
@DWStweets @ChrisCuomo @NewDay – That’s quite disturbing a politician would want pry into a citizen’s voting record. Very disturbing.

@DWStweets @ChrisCuomo @NewDay You do realize how Orwellian and creepy it is that you libs threaten voters with snooping on their voting?

@DWStweets @ChrisCuomo @NewDay If he didn’t, you might want to send out a hit man.

.@DWStweets @ChrisCuomo @NewDay you should worry less about John Stewart and more about Ds who didn’t support Obama & demoralized the base.

@hypervista @NewDay I am not asking for any snooping. I am asking whether it matters. Offer points not insults
