It was a very political weekend for Saturday Night Live, who spoofed a Sean Spicer press briefing and litigated President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration executive order in the “People’s Court.”
The skit centered on CNN anchor Jake Tapper (portrayed by Beck Bennett) and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon) in a spoof of the hit 1980s movie Fatal Attraction, about a homicidal, obsessive lover played by Glenn Close.
As reported by The Blaze, the skit begins with "Tapper" wrapping up his live CNN show and telling his producer that Trump adviser Conway had too many "credibility issues" to be allowed on his show.
But when Tapper goes home, Conway is waiting for him with a drink in the dark wearing lingerie.
“Jesus, Kellyanne, what the hell are you doing here?” says a startled Tapper.
The attention-crazed "Conway" proceeds to try to seduce Tapper into getting on his show. But when Tapper is insistent that he won’t have her on, Conway puts a knife to his throat.
“OK, I’ll text Fareed Zakaria, you can go on his show!” Tapper offers desperately.
“Fareed Zakaria?! I have an office in the f***ing White House!” Conway screams back.
Finally Tapper gives in and says Conway can be on a better-rated CNN show.
“You’re a monster,” Tapper says.
You have to see the skit to get the full picture of how degradingly Conway is depicted. Where is the feminist outrage? It is unthinkable that SNL would depict a female in the Obama administration in this manner.
The skit takes an even more disturbing twist when Conway plunges out of the window of Tapper’s apartment and lies twisted and broken on the street below. Like a scene from a horror movie, she snaps her broken limbs back in place and rises. “I am fine, but actually I only have three lives left,” she tells Tapper.
If Conway were a Democrat she would be held up as a feminist, Progressive icon; because she's a conservative wife and mother with a key position in the Trump administration, Hollywood paints her as a sex-crazed, homicidal, media attention whore.
