It\u2019s such a weird ritual,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always thought about when Kaepernick took the knee and the whole thing was like, \u2018You gotta stand for the anthem!\u2019 Now I imagine like in living rooms, guys are getting nachos ready, and f***ing the wings, and the anthem comes on and they all just have to [stand].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart also questioned the difference between people at a live sporting event being expected to stand, though viewers at home are not generally expected to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut like why is that? When the anthem comes on, you only have to stand if you\u2019re there. But the transitive principle through the television, if it\u2019s through the television you can do whatever the f*** you want. You can take a s*** during the National Anthem as a patriot. But if you\u2019re at the stadium there\u2019s like a whole regimen you have to go through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time Stewart has caused controversy over his recent remarks. The comedian, who is Jewish,&nbsp;recently claimed the goblin characters who run Gringott\u2019s Bank in J.K. Rowling\u2019s Harry Potter books are meant to be stand-ins for Jews. The Daily Wire recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jon-stewart-accuses-j-k-rowling-of-hidden-anti-semitism-while-ignoring-trevor-noahs-overtly-offensive-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHere\u2019s how you know Jews are still where they are,\u201d he said on his&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DzffpeYnv-w\">Apple TV+ show<\/a>&nbsp;last month. \u201cTalking to people, I say: \u2018You ever see a Harry Potter movie?\u2019 And people are like, \u2018I love the Harry Potter movies!\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018You ever see the scenes in Gringotts Bank?\u2019 And they\u2019re like, \u2018I love the scenes in Gringott\u2019s Bank!\u2019 And I go, \u2018Do you know what those folks who run the bank are?\u2019 And they\u2019re like, \u2018What?\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Jews!\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Stewart went on:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I\u2019ll say, \u2018Let me show you this from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Rowling was like, \u2018Can we get these guys to run our bank?\u2019 \u2026 It\u2019s a wizarding world \u2026 we can ride dragons, you can have a pet owl \u2026 but who should run the bank? Jews, \u2026 but what if the teeth were sharper?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was one of those things where I saw it on the screen and I was expecting the crowd to be like, \u2018Holy sh**, she did not, in a wizarding world, just throw Jews in there to run the f***ing underground bank.
