LAST UPDATE | 31 Mar 2023
IRISH MEPS MICK Wallace, Clare Daly, and Sean Kelly have appeared on the latest episode of an Apple TV show hosted by American comedian Jon Stewart.
Known for his role on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, which he hosted from 1999 to 2016, Stewart now hosts The Problem with Jon Stewart on Apple TV.
In a trailer for the show’s latest episode, Wallace tells Stewart: “America was built on genocide, slavery.”
Earlier this month, Stewart was pictured speaking to Wallace and Daly in the European Parliament in Brussels.
Wallace and Daly have been prominent in Irish and international media over their stances on the Ukraine war, owing to their opposition to the EU providing military support to the country.
The two Irish MEPs were among just 13 who opposed a European Parliament motion last March which condemned Russia in the days after its invasion of Ukraine.
The motion was titled ‘Russian aggression against Ukraine’ and contained 48 different texts which were voted on.
The resolution condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but Wallace and Daly said they could not support it because it also stated support for NATO and called for weapons to be sent to Ukraine.
Sean Kelly also features on the latest episode of the show, titled Searching for Allies, which has been released today.
As well as speaking to Irish MEPs, Stewart spoke to MEPs from countries including Belgium, France, Germany, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden.
This included Guy Verhofstadt, former prime minister of Belgium, and Malta’s Roberta Metsola, who is the president of the European Parliament.
