Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost and Michael Che had some fun with idiot Trump waving at migrants when he visited the border in Texas, and with that vile creature Mitch McConnell who announced he's retiring from Senate leadership this week.
Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took aim at Donald Trump‘s bizarre moment at the southern border this week, as well as Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he’ll step down as his party’s Senate leader.
Trump, who toured the Texas-Mexico border Thursday alongside the increasingly militant Gov. Greg Abbott, at one point waved at migrants through a barbed wire fence and claimed, “They like Trump, can you believe it?”
Co-anchor Colin Jost offered a rational response, given Trump’s Hilter-adjascent rhetoric about migrants “poisoning the blood of our country.”
“No, I can’t believe it! The migrants don’t like you!” he said. “They just walked a thousand miles to get to the edge of this river and they’re probably thinking: is that weirdo in a Trump costume waving us into the country?”
Before moving onto McConnell:
Michael Che and Colin Jost had a running gag on Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update,” cracking jokes about Mitch McConnell who announced earlier this week he was stepping down as Senate Republican leader.
Every time the photo of McConnell appeared on screen, the SNL duo made a joke about what had the senator so happy during that moment. Che started the gag, saying McConnell was “catching up on news from the Middle East.”
“McConnell has been leader for almost 20 years, but he first got involved in politics back in 1968 when he lost a fiddle contest to the devil,” Che quipped.
Jost continued the gag saying, “Mitch McConnell seen here walking out of a theater after watching 12 Years a Slave.”
“He’ll be replaced by the current number two Republican in the Senate, a frozen embryo holding an assault rifle,” Jost joked.
A second joke had Jost saying McConnell was “seen here after rearranging a blind woman’s furniture.” Another photo appeared on screen with McConnell gleefully giving a thumbs up, which Jost said he was “watching a single mother sell her blood for diaper money.”
