The show's cold open brought together Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and Beck Bennett to riff on the seemingly blind loyalty of congressional Republicans.
What would it take for congressional Republicans to stop supporting President Donald Trump? Saturday Night Live asked that very question in the cold open for its May 11 episode, bringing in a slew of cast members to lampoon lawmakers who have been criticized for demonstrating steadfast loyalty to the Trump White House.
“Let’s try Lindsay Graham. After opposing tariffs for decades, why do you support them from President Trump?,” the faux Todd asked. Graham, notably, was opposed tariffs but reversed course to support Trump’s decision to levy the fees on China. When the lawmakers were asked whether they would continue supporting Trump even if Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified that the president had obstructed justice, both McKinnon and Bennett answered in the affirmative.
Strong’s Collins, meanwhile, continued to proffer answers that at first seemed like stern condemnations, but ultimately closed with her falling in line.
