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.
Who in America cares?
**Yep, Chevy Chase doing his clumsy Jerry Ford schtick.**
Fake news used as comedy. Gerald Ford, WW2 Navy vet, was possibly one of the best athletes to ever become President. Because he took a few spills on the ski slopes (while in his early 60s, and with a bad knee), the libs mocked him.
My dad flew (in a 6 seat Piper Aztec) then Congressman Ford from a fundraiser in Kewanee, IL back to DC. Dad said that Ford sat behind him and because of the noise level would lean forward to converse, and after a bit he would excuse himself to sit back to stretch out his subpar knee. Dad said the guy was classy, not a bit arrogant. It was only a day or two later that Ford was announced to be Agnew’s replacement at VP.
Barry O. = fake athlete.
Talk about tone deaf. She thinks this is a Trump issue? Damn SNL has gotten seriously stupid.
Yeah, when Johnny Carson was on.
Yeah, when Johnny Carson was on.
Two good jokes I remember from him.
The committee continues its ethics investigation of the GOP. There was an ethics probe of the Democrats, too, not so long ago. None were found.
And
Don't tell me this isn't a great country and the Land of Opportunity. There's a young man who just arrived yesterday morning from Baghdad. Doesn't speak a word of English. And today he is your cab driver in Manhattan. That's opportunity.
Yes, well, when what you're doing is causing armed protestors to show up at the state house, it could be a sign you have gone too far.
That was a long long time ago.
And the late Phil Hartman did a great Bill Clinton.
Screw the Hill and Cecily whatshername...
#39. What’s a Saturday Night Live? Burgers, Hot Dogs, Chicken, Fries, soda, cheese, cole slaw, ice cream and chocolate cake.
Now that’s what I call “Saturday Night Live”!!!
No, “that woman” is the way Bill Clinton referred to Monica Lewinsky, when he still thought he could fool all of the people at least some of the time.
Does anyone on this board remember when SNL was actually funny?
But it was a respectful portrayal, something never permitted of Republicans they impersonate where they’re either stupid, incompetent, evil or all three.
