‘SNL’ Weekend Update takes on budget bill, vaccine mandates, COVID origins -- and other political footballs
Fox News
"Saturday Night Live’s" Weekend Update fake news segment covered Democratic squabbling over the inclusion of President Biden’s climate policy in the budget bill, the New York City coronavirus vaccine mandate, the potential origins of the virus and head Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s resignation this weekend.
"I’m not going to let some bad climate news ruin this beautiful 80-degree October day."
Jost joked that Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, would agree to the Biden plan only if it cuts clean energy and "officially makes coal one of the five food groups."
The sketch show previously lampooned Manchin – along with fellow Democratic moderate, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona -- in the cold open two weekends ago for being at odds with most lawmakers on their side of the aisle.
