At SNL's grand opening, Fox News hosts offer some thoughts on the migrant caravan. Spoiler Alert: These are not fans.

After two weeks of rest, "Saturday Night Live" wasted no time in getting back into politics. The show had coldly focused on many claims about the caravan of Central America – what Michael E. Miller, of The Post newspaper, termed "sea of ​​men , women and tired children, carried forward by waves leaving only their blisters and bleeding. " and the "bandaged feet" – slowly moving towards the US border. Many in the caravan say that they plan to ask for asylum.

In the run-up to the mid-term elections, President Trump described those of the caravan as enemies of the United States. He called the caravan "an invasion" and said it included "strangers from the Middle East", criminals and "very tough fighters". He said he could send up to 15,000 US troops to the Mexican border.

Fox News has added its own rhetoric about the caravan to this stream of discomfort.

SNL's cold openings tend to revolve around the news of the week and often offer almost unconditional re-enactments of things Trump has said or done. This week, without a guest actor, he chose another path and placed Fox News at a crossroads.

The show imagined an episode of the show "The Ingraham Angle" of the conservative commentator Laura Ingraham. Kate McKinnon embodies the role of Ingraham and discusses the caravan with various guests, including Fox host Jeanine Pirro (Cecily Strong), and former Wisconsin sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. (Kenan Thompson).

Throughout the sketch, the three present absurd "facts" about the caravan in a satire that almost resembled reality. For example, SNL's Ingraham describes the caravan as "vicious". It is made up of "dozens, even millions of illegal immigrants. . . directed directly to you and your grandchildren, "she adds. "And it's not alarmist. It's just the truth. "

As the debating heads discuss the caravan, they continue to turn out what they claim to be live images – but it is actually only new images of a shop invaded by people, crabs heading for the ocean and an excerpt from Brad Pitt 's zombie movie. "World War Z."

SNL's Pirro appears first, claiming that the caravan is made up of "all the people you've seen in your nightmares, Laura. There are Guatemalans, Mexicans, ISIS, the Menendez brothers, the Detroit Pistons of 1990, Thanos and several babadooks. "

She then supports Trump's (actual) badertion that the caravan includes Middle Eastern residents, although she uses a different phrase for them: "This caravan has hella Aladdin." They took the very common direct flight between Iran and Guatemala. They claimed that their elephants were "service animals" and then took them directly to Mexico. That makes almost too much sense. "

Clarke, of the show, talks about the advice of "The Birds of 'Dumbo'," warns Ingraham: "All the women in the caravan are more than nine months pregnant and they hold the babies up to nine months. Exactly when they cross the border. And then, they will literally throw the anchor. "

"And the babies, understand that, are pregnant," he adds.

The sketch also contains wider jokes about Ingraham and his network.

"The liberal media are trying to call President Trump racist, but with the exception of his words and his actions throughout his life, how is he racist?" Said Ingraham of SNL.

"When I hear" white nationalist ", I think of a fun barbecue on July 4th. You do not have to call the cops, she said to another.

Finally, she offers "Fox News Tips to Black and Hispanic voters". These tips include "never vote on Tuesday" and "you have already voted. You may not remember it, but you did it.

He also refers to Ingraham's sponsorship problems after provoking a survivor of the Parkland shootout. In SNL's imagination, the only advertisers she left behind were hot ice creams, a product called "My Hemorrhoid, Medical Footwear" and a (fictional) new book by colleague Brian Kilmeade of "Fox and Friends", titled "Andrew Jackson and the Battle for Hillary's Emails." "

Oh, and White Castle – "A castle for whites? Yes, please. "
