“#Jon Stewart joins Twitter<\/a> to defend Reddit Game<\/a>Stop traders<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Jon Stewart was prompted to join Twitter on Thursday to defend the renegade Reddit traders who turned Wall Street upside down this week.<\/p>\n

The former \u201cDaily Show\u201d host hit back at critics of the rogue day traders who used WallStreetBets\u00a0to send GameStop\u2019s stock skyrocketing in defiance of large hedge funds shorting the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is bullsh-t. The Redditors aren\u2019t cheating, they\u2019re joining a party Wall Street insiders have been enjoying for years,\u201d Stewart tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t shut them down\u2026maybe sue them for copyright infringement instead!!\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe\u2019ve learned nothing from 2008.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comedian signed his first tweet \u201cStewBeef.\u201d His account @jon_actual quickly became verified and was granted a blue check.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Late Show\u201d host Stephen Colbert\u00a0responded <\/a>to Stewart with: \u201cWell, one thing changed since 2008- a friend of mine joined Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a follow up tweet a few hours later, Stewart, 58, thanked fellow users for the warm welcome to the social media platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cI promise to only use this app<\/a> in a sporadic and ineffective manner,\u201d he joked<\/a>.\n <\/div>\n
