Saturday Night Live targets Trump ahead of impeachment trial

“Saturday Night Live” focused on the previous one President TrumpDonald TrumpTwitter permanently suspends the account of the founder of Gateway Pundit. The Wyoming Republican Party censors Cheney about Trump’s impeachment vote. Trump’s access to intelligence briefings will be determined by officials, says the White House: report MORE during his last segment “Weekend Update”, with co-host Colin Jost, jokingly, pleading with the “ex-social media influencer” to give the country “one last show” by agreeing to testify in its forthcoming impeachment trial .

“He will not testify at his impeachment trial next week and I think I speak for all of us when I say, ‘Shall we go, please?'” Jost said late Saturday. “Give us one last show, man.”

In his appeal to Trump, Jost told the ex-president to “stop feeling sorry for yourself, extend and break out of the trial as if you were Maury Povich and you were not the father”.

“Come on, think about it. You can shout out all the tweets that you haven’t been allowed to post in the last month, ”he continued before reading a series of tweets with Photoshop. “You know, like ‘Worst grand opening ever #PoemBarelyRhymed’ or ‘No nom for Tim Allen? #GlobesTooBlack. ‘”

“Unfortunately, Trump will not do that, but he will be defended at trial by the lawyer who refused to sue Bill Cosby and who agreed to represent Jeffrey Epstein before his death, which begs the question: ‘What does Trump think he is being accused of? ‘ ” he asked.

The House’s impeachment managers last Thursday formally asked Trump to testify at his Senate impeachment trial. However, Trump’s legal team immediately rejected the request. His impeachment trial in the upper house is scheduled to begin on Tuesday.

Trump was not the only politician to be burned during the simulated news segment of the evening show this weekend. His co-hosts also shot President Biden and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).

“President Biden said on Friday that he will move forward with his $ 1.9 trillion stimulus plan, with or without Republican support, because this economy needs a massage and Joe BidenJoe BidenTrump’s access to intelligence briefings will be determined by officials, says the White House: report Blinken, Saudi counterpart discusses Yemen on the first call. Author criticizes ongoing ‘culture of war’ with troops in Iraq, Afghanistan MORE is not waiting for permission, ”said Jost, causing laughter in the audience.

“A Biden interview will air before tomorrow’s Super Bowl between the Bucs and the Chiefs. By the way, ‘Buc’ and ‘Boss’ are also what Biden calls his friends when he forgets their names, ”he continued.

Jost and co-host Michael Che took aim at Greene while the legislator was angered by previous controversial comments and promoted the extreme right conspiracy theory QAnon.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, who looks like a photo of a former child star, supported 9/11 conspiracy theories, school shootings, the deep state and the Jewish people. Ugh, I get it, lady, you’re my type, ”said Che.

“I’m kidding,” he added quickly amidst the audience’s laughter. “Anyone who believes in these crazy conspiracy theories has to be as blind as Stevie Wonder is pretending to be.”
