Following the 44th seasons first hiatus, Saturday Night Live returned with a cold open that focused on President Trumps crackdown on the migrant caravan and voter suppression.
In the spoof on The Ingraham Angle,Kate McKinnon appeared as Fox political commentator Laura Ingraham, who attempted to quash rumors that Trump is racist saying, Except for his words and actions throughout his life, how is he racist? She continued to contemplate why words like white nationalist are now bad considering when she hears that term she thinks of a fun fourth of July barbecue the one you dont have to call the cops on.
McKinnon was then joined by Cecily Strongs Judge Jeanine Pirro, who used real life footage of the migrant caravans that was actually Black Friday shoppers swarming the checkout aisles.
When McKinnons host asks about whos in the caravans, Strongs Pirro replies, Everyone youve ever seen in your nightmaresGuatemalans, Mexicans, ISIS, the Menendez brothers, the 1990 Detroit Pistonsand several Babadooks.
She even added that the caravan had hella Aladdins, when asked about Middle Eastern individuals.
Kenan Thompson later joined the segment as Sheriff David Clarke, who quipped that if immigrants traveled at a normal pace of 300 miles a day they could be at the border in time to vote on election day. Thompson also brought aerial footage of the caravan which were visuals of crabs.
Following Thompsons bit, Ingraham delivered tips to combat voter suppression against minority voters like, Never vote on Tuesdays and If you see R next to a name, that means really a democrat.'
McKinnon ended the segment by making a dig at Alec Baldwin, calling him a disgraced former actor and showing him in a clip with Adam Sandler from the Canteen BoySNL segment, which she alleged was a photo of him molesting a young boy scout.
