SNL Audience Taken Aback After Michael Che Mocks Biden’s Struggles with Black Voters

JOST: “Well, four presidents visited New York City at the same time on Thursday, three to do a joint fundraiser at Radio City, and one selling Bibles door to door. (Laughter) Donald Trump has partnered with country music star Lee Greenwood to sell a $60 special edition of the Bible that also includes the Constitution, the lyrics to Greenwood’s ‘God bless the USA,’ and I assume God’s letter of resignation. (Laughter) This Bible is mostly the same, but Trump’s version ends with Jesus’ disciples storming Jerusalem to overturn the results of the crucifixion. (Laughter and Applause) Trump also posted this video urging his followers to buy it.”

[Clip starts]
Trump: “All Americans need a bible in their home, and I have many.”
[Clip ends]

JOST: “Many. I actually believe he has many Bibles. I’m sure he’s been sent thousands of Bibles with a note that says ‘Please read this.’”
(Laughter)
CHE: “More than 5,000 people attended a Democratic fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall, featuring big-name celebrities like Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert and Lizzo, as well as lesser known celebrities like President Joe Biden.”
(Laughter)
JOST: “This week, Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after it was struck by a cargo ship that was carrying — you won’t believe it — Boeing airplanes.”
(Laughter)
CHE: “President Biden said Friday that he would visit the site of the Baltimore bridge collapse because, like that bridge, Biden is no longer connecting with black communities. (Audience reacts) You gotta read the polls.”
JOST: “Wow. Donald Trump shared a video Friday of a truck driving in Long Island with a picture on the back of President Biden tied up with a rope. And I’d love to know where to get one of those, because if you have that on the back your car, you are never getting pulled over by a cop.”
(Laughter)
CHE: “NBC News cut ties with Ronna McDaniel after many network hosts protested her hiring. And I’m actually very disappointed, only because I feel Ronna McDaniel was a drag version of Ronald McDonald.”
(Laughter)
JOST: “Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, seen here remembering his presidential campaign, signed a bill that will ban social media accounts for younger teenagers, but Florida’s older teenagers can keep their social media accounts because they need a place to post their sonograms.”
(Audience reacts)
CHE: “LA Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani was forced to fire his interpreter over gambling and theft allegations. Reached for comment, Ohtani said something in Japanese, I don’t know. (Laughter) There’s no way to know what he said.”
JOST: “The CEO of Boeing announced that he’s stepping down in the wake of the company’s ongoing safety issues, and on his way out, he held up a bunch of nuts and bolts and said, ‘Good luck figuring out where these were supposed to go.’”
(Laughter)
CHE: “Vice President Kamala Harris praised Beyoncé for her new country album, saying that she has reclaimed country music’s black roots. Um, I’m sorry, Hootie? You don’t love the Hootie?”
