The best part of this cold open? Alec Baldwin wasn’t involved.
Predictably, SNL tackled all the latest White House news. Most notably, McCabe’s firing AND Tillerson’s. I really hated Kate McKinnon’s portrayal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions because 1.) He didn’t fire McCabe because “Trump made him do it” and 2.) He’s not a freaking racist.
“McCabe was in clear violation because of his lack of candor. I don’t know. I can’t even dance around it Trump made me do it. McCabe saw too much,” McKinnon said.
“I’m always down clown but this was sneaky evil, even for me. I’m just a simple man who wanted to make things bad for immigrants and here I am taking away the pension of a Christian white!” she added.
See what I mean?
The rest of the sketch wasn’t too bad. John Goodman did a pretty good Rex Tillerson.
Thoughts? And gooooooo.
