SNL Looks At Senate's Trump "Trial" Farce


In case you missed it, last night's cold open for Saturday Night Live featured the whole menagerie of villains and characters from corrupt Sen. Moscow Mitch McConnell's rigged show in the Senate. Alec Baldwin did his Trump as Harvey Weinstein, Kate McKinnon did a swishy cornpone Sen. Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham, and even Pete Davidson rolled in as Hunter Biden. Kenan Thompson played Judge Mathis in this made-for-media mockery of a trial, and got "Trump" to admit something:
"I cheat all the time at golf, taxes, wives, elections. I cut the funding to the CDC, so this Wang Chung virus is really going to be bad."
(It was nice that the "gag" involving Rep. Adam Schiff fell flat with the audience.)
