SNL over the past years has become more of a place of political bashing than the beloved comedy show it once was. This past Saturday “Saturday Night Live” kicked off with a cold open spoof of CNN’s “At This Hour” with Kate Bolduan (Kate McKinnon) in which female Donald Trump supporter Scottie Nell Hughes (Cecily Strong) defended the Republican front-runner’s controversial comments about women.
“As a woman, I like Donald Trump, but as a full-blown nutjob, I freakin’ love him,” Hughes said.
After her guest expressed her avid support for Trump, Bolduan mentioned multiple instances in which Trump’s behavior was deemed misogynistic.
“As a woman, how can you keep defending Mr. Trump? He retweeted a sexist, unflattering photo of Ted Cruz’s wife,” Bolduan noted, referring to an incident last month for which Trump has since offered a public apology.
Hughes then proceeded to rationalize the tweet, which Trump confessed was a “mistake” in an interview with the New York Times published Saturday.
