Saturday Night Live's 'Full-Blown Nut Job' Donald Trump Supporter Is Too Real
The phrase “full-blown nut job” is not always a nice way to describe someone. But it may be, in some cases, an accurate way.
For this week’s cold open on Saturday Night Live, Kate McKinnon was CNN’s Kate Bolduan, while Cecily Strong took on real-life nut Scottie Nell Hughes, a Trump supporter and conservative pundit.
It’s a great skewer of Trump supporters. But for a fake media interview, it’s almost too close to life. Nell Hughes even predicted her own appearance last month, saying that Trump supporters “have been abused, they have been slaughtered, they have been made fun of, on everything from the nightly news to Saturday Night Live.”
