“Saturday Night Live” took aim at a group of Republican senators who continued to support former President Donald Trump despite his criticisms of them.

The sketch featured comedians portraying Sens. James Risch, Marco Rubio, Tim Scott, and Lindsey Graham, celebrating Trump’s victory in the South Carolina Republican primary at a fictional gathering.

The comedic portrayal highlighted the senators’ apparent contradictions in endorsing Trump despite his actions and remarks against them.

For instance, the fictional Rubio expressed confusion about the direction of the Republican Party under Trump’s influence, while the fictional Risch acknowledged Trump’s disregard for American security but still endorsed him wholeheartedly.

In reality, Risch, who serves as the top Republican on the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, has advocated for increased U.S. aid to Ukraine, emphasizing its importance for American security.

The sketch also touched on Trump’s past insults and actions towards the senators, such as his sharing of Graham’s phone number in 2015. Despite these incidents, the fictional Graham expressed unwavering support for Trump, likening him to former President Ronald Reagan.

In addition to mocking Trump’s congressional supporters, “Saturday Night Live” also spoofed the former president’s recent venture into footwear with $399 sneakers.

Comedian Shane Gillis, impersonating Trump, humorously claimed that wearing the shoes improved his basketball skills, reflecting Trump’s penchant for self-promotion and exaggeration.

The sketches on “Saturday Night Live” serve as comedic commentary on current events and political figures, often blending satire with elements of truth to entertain audiences while offering a humorous perspective on contemporary issues.
