Tidal - SNL
Its well-known that every weekend during the election cycle, Saturday Night Live is going to open its show with a cold open that skewers the latest in cable news, town halls, or Presidential debates. This past weekend show cast member Cecily Strong portrayed Trump supporter and frequent CNN guest Scottie Nell Hughes, in a hilarious depiction of female Trump fans justifying the candidates history of rhetoric:
The sketch identifies Hughes as a full-blown nutjob, and Strongs depiction (opposite Kate McKinnons impersonation of CNNs Kate Bolduan) at one point cried, You cant break me Kate, cuz Im crazy! And crazy dont break!
Although Hughes attempted to diffuse the situation on CNN Sunday morning with a laugh saying, You know, I have a great sense of humor the truth came out about how she felt being brutally mocked by the most-watched political comedy powerhouse in an election year.

Talk about the ultimate shaming, the ultimate sexism. You know, whatdoes SNL want me to do, be barefoot and pregnant or maybe just talk about parenting issues? Hughes later got even more candid with The Blaze, admitting, Im a little shaken after this. I had no idea this was coming, and that tears have been shed, since the cold open aired Saturday night.
