Jon Stewart: Veterans exposed to toxins ‘more vulnerable’ due to COVID, Congress should take action

Jon Stewart, former host of The Daily Show, told Just the News that war veterans who were exposed to harmful toxins during their military service are “more vulnerable” due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Congress should take action.

Stewart was on Capitol Hill advocating for passage of new legislation, the Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act, which was introduced by New York Democratic Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand and Rep. Raul Ruiz on Tuesday.
