Saturday Night Live mocked Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s attempt to appeal New Yorkers before the state’s primary on April 19.
After a sting of primary losses to rival Bernie Sanders – counted by the seven holes punched into her wall – Clinton, played by SNL cast member Kate McKinnon, showcased her “strong” roots in New York City in a mock political ad.
First she donned her New York Yankees baseball cap with the $1.99 price sticker still on it, then avoided eating the city’s most famous delicacy: a street hotdog.
SNL referenced Clinton’s political fumble this week when she had difficulty using her pass to enter a New York Subway station.
In the skit, Clinton continuously attempts to enter the subway station, even trying to jump the barricade, before giving up and stating that she’ll just take a cab.
She then asks her supporters in New York to get out and vote before telling young New Yorkers, “voting’s for nerds. I mean, who cares, just sleep in.”
