SNL Weekend Update Drags Hunter Biden and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This week’s Saturday Night Live opened with a sketch mocking this week’s sham antisemitism hearing in front of a GOP-led Congress, which saw three university presidents (and MAGA Rep. Elise Stefanik) embarrass themselves while answering inane questions about the temperature on college campuses. Then, both host Adam Driver and musical guest Olivia Rodrigo flexed their piano skills, with the former mocking Tesla Cybertruck buyers whilst serenading Santa, and the latter performing a delicate piano version of her hit single “vampire.”

Then came Weekend Update.

It kicked off with co-host Colin Jost addressing this week’s federal indictment against Hunter Biden, the troubled son of President Joe Biden whom the GOP is hell-bent on destroying by any means necessary.

“A federal indictment issued this week against Hunter Biden alleges that he evaded paying over a million dollars of taxes between 2016 and 2020,” said Jost. “And they’re only catching him now? Man, this is super embarrassing for whoever was president during 2016 to 2020.” (Hint: It wasn’t Joe Biden.)

He continued: “The indictment claims that instead of paying taxes, Hunter Biden spent his money on drugs and escorts. But honestly, it would have been more surprising if he remembered to do his taxes during that time. No one finishes doing cocaine with a hooker and is like, ‘Could I get a receipt?’”

“Speak for yourself,” chimed in co-host Michael Che, adding, “If convicted, Hunter Biden could be sentenced to up to 17 years in prison, which would be the first time any Biden has successfully completed a sentence.”

Che also dinged presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who loves nothing more than ranting about vaccines and comparing vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, for admitting that he’d flown on late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, dubbed “The Lolita Express.”

“Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy admitted in a new interview that he flew two times on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet — but only to make sure that none of those girls were vaccinated,” joked Che.
