Jon Stewart usually spends each episode of _The Daily Show_ trying to fit in as much as he can say about the day’s given topic, but when it came to a recent comment from presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, he took a wordless approach.

“\[President Obama is\] so naïve, he would basically trust the Iranians and he would take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven,” [Huckabee said in a radio interview](http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/25/huckabee-obama-marching-israelis-to-door-of-oven/) following the announcement of Obama’s deal with the Iranians.

Stewart responded to Huckabee’s controversial statements without uttering a single word. Instead, he acted out his response, recreating the movement of [his cartoonishly beating heart](http://giphy.com/gifs/looney-tunes-heartbeat-l1V7lC4k6qrHq) and letting out a few frustrated cries, but never once using an actual word.

Watch Stewart’s silent movie-esque performance above.

## Transcript

The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are I think part of just a general pattern that we've seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren't so sad.
