“Weekend Update” mocks Trump’s X-rated rally motion on election night

The final “Weekend Update” segment before the 2024 election offered plenty of new material to work with in light of GOP nominee Donald Trump’s recent shocking incident at one of his rallies.

“Saturday Night Live” wasn’t afraid to manipulate an hours-long controversy. Trump appeared to simulate an oral sex move with his microphone as he struggled with audio problems at his rally in Milwaukee. “Weekend Update” host Michael Che put it bluntly, noting that Trump appears to be becoming more and more unpredictable as the end of the campaign approaches. A defeat for Trump means he will face a series of legal battles that will be put on hold if he is elected.

“That’s why he’s blowing that mic. He’s trying to fight his way to freedom,” Che said.

“Weekend Update” anchor Colin Jost mentioned the other disturbing incident during Trump’s Oct. 27 rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe delivered a racist joke in which he called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.” The comment sparked immediate outrage, particularly among Latino voters, who said Trump would have to be convincing to win the race for extremely close votes.

Jost pointed to his roots on Staten Island, New York, to make his point.

“As someone who actually grew up on a garbage island, I find that disgusting,” he joked.
