Saturday Night Live Goes After Elizabeth Warren in Cold Open: 'Money Doesn't Exist' (VIDEO) [View all]

Saturday Night Live was back for another episode tonight, with Kate McKinnon’s portrayal of 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren in full force.

“Look at me, I am in my natural habitat. A public school on the weekend. And I just had a Nature Valley bar in the hallway so I’m jacked up and ready to pop off,” McKinnon said.

The sketch poked fun at Warren herself and made fun of her expensive plans and her inexplicable love of the HBO show Ballers.

She also rolled out an incomprehensible chart to explain the costs of her health care proposal.

“Now we’re talking trillions. So when the numbers are this big, they’re just pretend. They ain’t no scrooge McDuck vault somewhere. You want to get red-pilled? Money doesn’t exist,” McKinnon said, rolling out the chart. “Here. Here’s the math. Do you understand this? I do. I can explain it to you but you would die.”

Klobuchar is at 3%. Most of the audience doesn't know who she is redstateblues Nov 2019 #37

She's ripe for satire because she so clearly stands for things.... LAS14 Nov 2019 #32

That's a good point. At the right time Warren will cut through all the complexity blm Nov 2019 #38
