MAGA erupts in fury at SNL cast for deeply personal stab at Pete Hegseth: 'This is disgraceful'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 05/11/2025 | Noa Halff

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.

SNL live is only watched by drunks, drug addicts, trannies, fags, lesbos and college loan deadbeats.

SNL stopped being funny when Eddie Murphy left the show.

I haven’t since the late 80s.

SCTV is still better than a lot of SNL.

That’s the base of the Democrats you have listed there.

Agreed. At least back in the days of Jane Curtin or Dan Ackroyd or John Belushi or Bill Murray, SNL made fun of everyone.

Drinking, YES.

Did the SNL cast flash their CIA badges by any chance?

I was wondering if anyone still watches SNL. You’ve answered that question.

They’re attacking Pete Hegseth because they see him as the “weak link” plus he’s against the MIC.

Never watch the show and don’t give a ****. But can’t imagine they were as brutal (deservedly) as Gutfeld and his crew are to Democrats every night. Tyrus should get his own show.

No one should be surprised by this. At one point early in its run SNL was kinda balanced. But for years now it has been a full member of the Democrat media machine.

As others have mentioned, just don’t watch it. Don’t feed the monster. I would suggest instead watching old videos of Candid Camera or Conan O’Brien on YouTube.

So many good alternatives to SNL these days.

I wouldn’t doubt that many of the current SNL cast members are cocaine addicts.

That’s when it was a comedy show. Now its Meet the Press with even less talented performers. Sad.

It’s not about brutality. It’s about presenting themselves as mainstream then going after only conservatives

Gutfeld claims to be biased. No questions

SNL- as soon as they claim to be leftists no one will care. But they don’t do that

You know this. Why say anything?

I would guess Trump is about the only person on the right or left that never really drank alcohol.

Lets see a skit about Nazi Pelosi and her alcohol habits.
