MAGA supporters have erupted in fury over Saturday Night Live's latest political sketch featuring a deeply personal dig at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The controversial segment, which aired this weekend, featured former cast member Cecily Strong returning as Judge Jeanine Pirro alongside Colin Jost portraying Hegseth as her 'drinking buddy.'
In the sketch, Strong repeatedly made light of alleged alcohol issues that the real-life Defense Secretary has vehemently denied.
'I love Pete Hegseth. He's my old drinking buddy,' Strong's Pirro said.
When Jost then entered the scene as Hegseth, Pirro was so surprised that she sprayed wine all over his face.
'Hey, Pete, you're not drinking again, are you?' Johnson's Trump asked.
'No, absolutely not, sir,' Hegseth replied. 'I promised I would never have a bottle touch my lips, but I do have some news to share. Before I do, Jeanine, you want to take a swig of this?'
Pirro then spat her drinks in his face again - and he eagerly opened his mouth to catch some of the alcoholic spray.
'Anyway,' Hegseth continued. 'I accidentally added Kim Jong Un to the group chat.'
'Oh yeah, that's the stuff,' Hegseth jokes, as Trump calls the pair the 'AA team.'
The sketch sparked fury on social media with users slamming the show with angry reactions.
Many supporters of President Trump called the 'comedy' 'disgraceful' and 'anti-American.'
'This is what despicable disgraceful anti American TV PROPAGANDA looks like,' wrote one particularly incensed viewer on X. 'They attempt to portray @JudgeJeanine & Sec. Def as drinkers to regurgitate old slander points. Is this what you want your kids growing up watching?'
'Is this what you want your kids growing up watching? When we grew up with SNL it was funny,' the furious user continued.

Oops. Never happened. My mistake.

Usually when the Left marks a cabinet member for destruction they succeed. Not this time.
SNL is still on? Well color me shocked, I stopped watching decades ago when the first starting going to shit.
Was it the same brand of box wine that Camel Hairs drinks?
I will not add to this but say...
Me: Hey Pete, I received your text message.
Just to confirm it says:
“Invade China, June 6th, weather permitting”
Me: How is the weather report looking?
Never a sniffer
Never a crackhead taking money from the Chinese
Never Epstein visitors
Why?
I am still PO’ed they knocked FANTASTIC THEATER off the air back in 1975 Tulsa OK. I liked my cheapo si-fi movies!
I sat down with my popcorn and soda pop, and instead of a si-fi movie I got “LIVE FROM NEW YORK! IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!
I even sat through that dreck hoping the si-fi show would be on afterward. It was not.
Same here. Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd were those “Wild and Crazy” guys.
Have you seen SNL ratings nobody’s erupting about anything
Democrats are evil liars. Is there a single commandment they follow?
