Cecily Strong of "Saturday Night Live" roasted President Trump while performing as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Saturday.
Strong as Whitmer said governors are “having a moment right now” but that, unlike her, other governors are getting “cool nicknames.”
“Trump refers to me as ‘that woman from Michigan,’” she said. “But I’m not offended because I am proud to be from Michigan. And ‘that woman’ is also what Trump calls his wife.”
She continued by giving advice for protesters to safely exercise their First Amendment rights, including to stay home, maintain social distancing and wear a mask outside.
“I promise you can call me a bitch from the safety of your couch. It’s called Twitter,” she said.
The skit also commented on how Whitmer is under consideration to become presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s vice presidential candidate.
“If it’s going to be a woman, it might as well be ‘that woman,’” she said.
The president has referred to Whitmer as “that woman from Michigan,” prompting the governor to wear a T-shirt with the phrase on it when she was interviewed for “The Daily Show" earlier this month.
Trump has accused Whitmer of taking her stay-at-home order too far as protesters have demonstrated against the order and called for the state’s economy to reopen.
Michigan has documented at least 37,778 confirmed coronavirus cases and at least 3,315 fatalities. The state ranks seventh in total cases and third in deaths, The New York Times reported.
Leftists are obsessed with AK-47s
No, he calls her “My lovely wife” or -more importantly- “The First Lady”
And I call Cicely “Karen” Strong “*itch.
>>And I call Cicely “Karen” Strong “*itch.<<
I say *unt.
Who in the holy hell is Cecile Strong?
A Whitmer wannabe. Sad.
Saturday Night Live is still on? I guess their original audience from the 70’s and 80’s is super-loyal.
Remember when comedy used to be funny and not a campaign commercial for the DNC?
Even SNL was pimping for Carter in 1976.
Yeah, they just made the marijuana stronger as the jokes got lamer.
SNL is happy to be part of the “progressive” Smiley Face Fascism.
Yep, Chevy Chase doing his clumsy Jerry Ford schtick.
Fascism isn’t funny and the Left is licking boots of unAmerican despots.
Yawn , I’ve never watched this Half-Wit show

Hey but what would a hoser from NY City know.
How ‘bout the skit where Dan Aykroyd’s Carter was talking a youngster down from an acid trip ?

I thought Trump referred to Whitmer as Half Wit? In a Tweet?
Now as I recall, they weren’t to harsh on Reagan, I remember the classic “Mastermind” skit with Phil Hartmann, but in a way that actually complemented Reagan, as being to whole mastermind between Iran-Contra.
Is that supposed to be wit? Because, isn’t that what a roast is all about?
