'Weekend Update' hosts mock Sen. Ted Cruz after he 'abandoned Texas' for Cancun trip
Fox News
“Saturday Night Live” took aim at Ted Cruz over his now-infamous trip to Cancun during its “Weekend Update” segment.
Cruz, R-Texas, told Sean Hannity that he had lost power in his home for two days before electing to travel and admitted that he began to have "second thoughts almost immediately" after boarding his flight. Still, "Weekend Update" hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che took Cruz to task almost immediately on Saturday during the parody news segment of the sketch show. "Well, if you hate Ted Cruz, this was a pretty fun week," Jost began. "And if you like Ted Cruz, then you're Ted Cruz."More Related News
