Rare and amusing Saturday Night Live satire of Democrats

It was near the finale of the 2024 U.S. Presidential campaigning. On the last weekend before the general election, Saturday Night Live satirized the media's penchant for the Democratic National Party; or perhaps, the GOP's allegations of such.  

I was delighted that the episode included a faux David Muir, whom I perceive as a thinly-veiled version of MSNBC's Rachael Maddow. (Muir does manage to maintains his composure and admittedly, Rachael's show is intended as commentary not reporting.)  The real Muir's news delivery has a distinctive "the world is ending!" tone, which isn't modulated by the gravity, or relative lack thereof, of the content he reports. I'm not a media professional nor even much of aa viewer, so I was delighted that at least one other person, the ersatz SNL Muir parodied real Muir's genuine anchorman voice with an edge of hysteria!  

A faux Minnesota governor Tim Waltz made multiple appearances. He professed his love of fried foods and dislike for anything spicier than a tomato. 

This doesn't happen very often

The real then-Vice President and DNC general election candidate Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance toward the end. Her SNL counterpart was great, so much so, that the opening of SNL made me laugh outright!

If you pan out, they look remarkably like the real thing. 

SNL viewer reactions

Plenty of people; i.e. the masses including me; were watching by time-delay via YouTube. There were many expressions of grief and anger in the comments. Did I already mention the extreme antipathy toward Donald Trump, regularly on display in his first term?    

In case you've forgotten, or are still trying to forget, Joe Biden had an unsettling tendency to smell women's and young ladies hair.  While visiting YouTube, I realized that this should have been well-known long before Biden's tenure as  President of the United States. 

I found a very brief clip of former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He is being vigilant, shooing Joe Biden away, preventing the VP's attempt to sniff the hair of Sessions' very young granddaughter.  Democrats didn't like Sessions. They didn't like the government waste and corruption that he acted against either

Government opacity or corruption

Sessions was appointed to lead the Department of Justice during the Trump 1.0 administration. He held the position of Attorney General for less than two years. I'm still impressed with one of his lesser-known accomplishments, in support of victim and taxpayer justice.
