Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update tackled some of Donald Trump’s most troubling cabinet picks.
On Wednesday, Trump said he would nominateMatt Gaetz for attorney general. When the then-congressman was first asked about the role, co-anchor Colin Jost joked, he “said the same thing hedoes when he sees a teenagegirl: ‘I’ll do it.’”
Gaetz is accused of having sex with a minor, which he denies.
Jost continued to go after the former Florida congressman. “Gaetz, who was created whenFrankenstein raped Dracula, was chosen for attorneygeneral after Trump rememberedthat his original pick was founddead in a jail cell,” he said, as a photograph of Jeffrey Epstein showed on screen.
Michael Che then had a few words for Elon Musk, the self-described “first buddy” of Trump who is helping lead a made-up government efficiency “department.”
“Elon Musk is reportedly spending nearly every day withDonald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, butdon’t worry, Elon will leave assoon as he finishes listing allthe dinosaurs in alphabeticalorder,” Che joked.
“Musk’s new department ofgovernment efficiency posted ajob listing saying that they arelooking for people willing towork 80-plus hours a week for nomoney,” he continued. “But you can’t be surprised thewhite African guy’s first ideais slavery!”
As for Pete Hegseth‘s (potentially rocky) confirmation process for secretary of defense, Che called attention to one aspect of his resume.
“Hegseth is co-host of Fox &Friends Weekends, which isbroadcast exclusively on CPAPmachines.”
