Say goodbye to fake news and hello to “feel facts.” They’re things that “feel” like they’re true to Kate McKinnon’s spot-on Laura Ingraham on “Saturday Night Live’s” cold open.
One feel fact? “Rampant voter fraud allowed Democrats to literally steal the election,” McKinnon’s Ingraham insisted.
“Some have claimed that suburban women revolted against the Republican party. But doesn’t it feel more true that all Hispanics voted twice?” she asked. “You can’t dismiss that idea simply because it isn’t true and sounds insane.”
Other feel facts — not “technically” facts — included: “Latinos can have a baby every three months,” “Santa is Jesus’ dad,” and “blackface is a compliment” (which drew an audible groan from the audience).
Another: “If the Earth is so warm, then why are my feet cold?”
Ingraham’s guests included Cecily Strong’s Fox News commentator Jeanine Pirro and Leslie Jones as Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge (who wants to challenge California Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House speaker). Alex Moffat appeared as disturbingly robotic Mark Zuckerberg, who had to remind himself to blink and laugh.
Pirro took note of a little-known fake voting strategy ― when “multiple children” will “stack” on top of each other under a trench coat and then vote as an adult.
Check out the video above and meet “SNL’s” version of Ingraham’s “Vape God.”
