‘SNL’ Weekend Update mocks Biden as 'acquired taste' for nation that lost that sense to coronavirus
Fox News
"Saturday Night Live’s" Weekend Update news segment didn’t hold back on President Biden’s struggles with his stalled agenda and tumbling approval ratings this weekend, comparing them to a cell phone's "power save mode."
In a measure of cold comfort to Biden, Jost also alluded to another president who he said had "failed in his first term" but later became revered through statues honoring him. He revealed he was talking about Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States, who was charged with treason after the Civil War.
While trying to encourage senators to go around the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation last week, Biden actually brought up Davis, asking lawmakers if they wanted to be "on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?"
