So uh, @JackPosobiec and I went to speak with Jon Stewart outside the Capitol. Jack asked some pretty ordinary questions, and Jon began screaming in our faces for about 10 minutes. At one point he was nose to nose with me. I kept trying to calm him down.
After all the screaming was over, Jon pulled me aside and explained to me that he doesn’t want discretionary spending amendments because it would lead to underfunding. I listened. Before I could reply he walked away. We then spoke with Vets for 45 mins.
As I was leaving, I thanked Jon for his time and he said, “I hope this is good for your brand.”
I thought that was an appalling thing to say at an event where EVERYONE supports a form of the PACT Act, and told me all I need to know about where his mind is on this.

At least we can say we tried. @JackPosobiec consistently asked if he could use his platform in any way to bring opposing sides together. Jon just screamed at him. At one point grabbed him. CNN cameras will show only part of this, but I got lots too.
Make up your own mind who is “in good faith” here or not.
Good work @JackPosobiec and @jonstewart for coming through this like men. Now THIS is great to see:

Here’s him screaming at me while all I kept saying was “calm down so everyone can talk to each other”.
Never thought I’d have to be the voice of reason on Capitol Hill 🤣
