Jon Stewart said on "The Daily Show" after Tuesday's presidential debate that Vice President Kamala Harris managed to hit former President Donald Trump where it most hurts.

"I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies," Harris said during the ABC News debate, noting he's talked about "fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter" and that "windmills cause cancer."

"And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom," Harris said.

"Folks, the eagle has landed," Stewart said, showing a still image of Trump looking visibly angry after Harris' jab.

"She has attacked what is Donald Trump's most cherished family member — his rally crowds," Stewart said.

"The Daily Show" host then said that Trump could have stayed on message — but that's not what he did.

Instead, the former president responded that he has "the biggest rallies." He then segued into a racist rant about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio, a claim that one of the moderators, David Muir, immediately debunked.

"What the fuck just happened?" Stewart said of Trump's dog-eating claims.

Stewart then compared Trump to Abe Simpson, the subject of the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" meme.

When contacted for comment, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung told Business Insider that "Jon Stewart used to be relevant and mildly entertaining" but is now "bitter" and a "shell of a person he used to be."

"He suffers from a debilitating and devastating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has clearly rotted his brain and ruined his life to the point he has to compensate for his embarrassing inadequacies," Cheung added.

The Harris campaign now wants a second debate with Trump. For his part, Trump says he "wouldn't mind" facing off against Harris again — but he hasn't agreed to another debate date yet.

Representatives for Harris did not immediately respond to requests for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.

Actualy should kick his ball where it most hurt.
