Hillary Clinton Hung Out With Herself And Made Fun Of Donald Trump On ‘SNL’ Last Night
"I needed to blow off some steam. I've had a hard couple of 22 years."
Though we’re still more than a year away from the US election (help), Hillary Clinton has continued her tireless campaign press tour last night with a guest spot on the season premiere of SNL.
Perhaps feeling the heat from the increasingly popular and slightly more progressive Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders — a loveable old feller who wants to withdraw troops, substantially increase the minimum wage, and make uni free — Hil’s been hitting it pretty hard lately with appearances on Ellen, The Tonight Show and an interview with Lena Dunham. Now, she’s faced off against her spectacularly unhinged doppelgänger in Kate McKinnon as a mild-mannered bartender named Val.
Neither Hillary nor Val seem to like Donald Trump very much.
Having been off the air for four months, SNL had a lot to catch up on and politics was a big standout in the show’s skits. Running off the back of the Republican primary debates, the team skewered unpopular candidates Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, and Jim Gilmore in a fake drug ad that suggested they all have dementia. And, of course, Donald Trump got his own dedicated segment.
Impersonated by Taran Killam for the first (and definitely not the last) time, a constantly pouting and shouting Trump introduced himself in the cold open alongside his wife Melania. Here, he clarified his plans for America and his controversial views on Fox host Megyn Kelly: “she’s talented and beautiful, but she’s a heifer who’s always on her period and I hope she dies”.
“Like everyone else,” Melania said. “He puts his hair on one strand at a time.”
The other happenings of pop culture over the past few months were then all covered in one hit by Miley Cyrus’ opening monologue. After cracking a couple of mediocre punchlines — did you guys know she smokes weed, woah — the three-time host sang about Rachel Dolezal, Lenny Kravitz’s penis, and Pizza Rat to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’.
What a time to be alive.
