California State Senator Leland Yee Gets Skewered on ‘The Daily Show’

Posted on April 1, 2014 by John

Leland_Yee_The_Daily_Show You know you are a corrupt politician when you are skewered by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. On Monday, in a segment at minute 3:10 entitled Innocent Until — Who Are We Kidding, Stewart summarizes the charges against California State Senator Leland Yee.

Stewart also highlights Lee’s co-conspirator Raymond “Shrimp Boy” and his past criminal charges which he served time for, including: murder for hire, drug trafficking, arson and racketeering. Obviously, even if Yee is 100% innocent of the charges against him, his reputation is pretty tainted!
