Jon Stewart speaks at conference on Honoring Our PACT Act at Capitol
Advocate and comedian Jon Stewart talks with Brielle Robinson, 9, following a press conference on the Republican defeat of the Honoring Our PACT Act. Brielle is the daughter of the late SFC Heath Robinson, who died of a rare cancer following burn pit exposure, and for whom the bill is named. The legislation would have established a connection between military service and exposure to toxins via burn pits, easing access to healthcare for veterans and active duty members. The bill passed the Senate with 84 votes, but Republican Senators objected, claiming it contained unrelated spending. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
