In its latest episode, “Saturday Night Live” used a spoof of “Fox & Friends” to address the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, his wife, and texts she sent to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows urging him to help Donald Trump remain in power by preventing Congress from certifying Joe Biden’ electoral victory.
In the skit, Ginni Thomas, played by Kate McKinnon, appeared with the justice, played by Kenan Thompson and is told that “the left is losing their mind” over texts she sent to Meadows before the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
“I don’t want any trouble,” Ms. Thomas told the hosts, played by Alex Moffatt, Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day. “I take my duty as the Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court very seriously.”
She then explained her outlook as a simple one: “All I want is a tidal wave of biblical vengeance to wash away the Biden crime family all the way to Gitmo and then we release the Kracken.”
Justice Thomas, meanwhile, couldn’t seem to answer a single question definitively. Asked if the couple speaks about Ginni Thomas’ efforts to influence the Trump White House, he responded:
“Some say yes, some say no.”
Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, also appeared via facetime.
“Did you commit a coup, sir?” Gardner’s Ainsley Earhardt asked.
The former president explained he didn’t like the “p” in coup. “A take-back event,” he said of Jan. 6. “A coup — perhaps.”
Asked about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards ceremony, Trump delivered a rambling answer, too difficult to decipher.
