Joe Biden’s presidency is imploding under a classified documents scandal, and his press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is flatly refusing to answer the media’s questions.
So naturally, Saturday Night Live decided to make New York Republican George Santos the focus of their mockery this weekend. SNL used to be a comedy show for everyone’s enjoyment, but now it’s basically a Democrat party super PAC.

From the New York Post:
Saturday Night Live was quick to mesh two of the country’s hottest topics Saturday: the NFL playoffs and Rep. George Santos’s history as a drag queen.
Cast member Bowen Yang played the embattled congressman in the opening skit –in which the lying pol waltzed onto a football field in a glitzy red dress and black wig, similar to the one Santos was allegedly caught sporting at a 2005 Brazil pride parade, to serve as a news correspondent.
Cast member Mikey Day, playing an Fox NFL host, addressed him as “George” — and told him to get off the screen.
Take a look below:

People are starting to notice the lack of balance.
Too bad there are no Democrats they deem worthy of mockery.
Honestly, the double standard is jarring. Do they not care how this makes them look?

Going after Republicans?? I can’t believe SNL would be so BOLD and original like that!! They truly are fearless, aren’t they??

But…. Biden classified document finds, not a peep.

And of course, they didn’t do one George Santos related skit. They did TWO Santos related bits.

There’s nothing else happening in politics right now that deserves mockery, huh?
So strange.
