GOP chairwoman rails at 'liberals in Hollywood' over 'SNL' skit

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel took issue with "liberals in Hollywood" on Sunday after a "Saturday Night Live" sketch portrayed what life would be like for those close President Trump had he never been elected.

"Will liberals in Hollywood ever recognize that life is better for millions of Americans under @realDonaldTrump?" McDaniel tweeted, sharing a Washington Post article describing the sketch.

"Wages are up, unemployment is down, and industries like manufacturing are booming after years of decline," she added.




McDaniel was responding to the cold open on Saturday's show, which was a play on "It's a Wonderful Life." Alec Baldwin's Trump is shown a world where he lost the 2016 election, where special counsel Robert Mueller is able to spend more time with his grandson, former Trump Organization employee Michael Cohen doesn't go to prison and Vice President Pence becomes a disc jockey.

The reason there are no funny conservative comedians is they lack a sense of humor.

They are nasty as can be, but when it comes to anyone making fun of themselves, they melt....kinda' like snowflakes....every last one of them.

Ronna Romney McDaniel is Mitt Romney niece. It's odd, she's totally loyal to the orange anus. That is, until Mitt Romney tosses his hat in the ring (2020?).

That show really got to them. We expect it from Trump, but now Ronna Romney is offended too.

Poor things.

Trump should be mocked 24/7 just because it upsets him so badly.
