Hillary Clinton Impersonates Donald Trump On ‘SNL’

Kate McKinnon’s Hillary Clinton impression isn’t the best, but it is her own, and when it’s placed against the real deal, it’s suddenly clear just how good it really is.

As for the character of Val, a deadpan Clinton said, “I’m just an ordinary citizen who believes the Keystone pipeline will destroy our environment”.

In the exchange, McKinnon poked fun at how long it took Clinton to come to the conclusion that she opposed the Keystone XL Pipeline.

“Nothing wrong with taking your time”, Val says.

Hillary Clinton took on the role of Val the bartender last night in a Saturday Night Live sketch.

Asked what she does for a living, McKinnon says in imitation of Clinton’s earnest monotone: ‘First, I am a grandmother. Rather than the Poehler version, which presented Clinton as likable for her intelligence and wit, the McKinnon version, which was first rolled out in March, is such a parody of Clinton’s worst features that the real-life Clinton seems pretty normal by contrast. As the New York Times reports, Kate McKinnon is herself a huge Hillary Clinton supporter – which makes sense.

A big credit has to be given to Clinton’s team who has effectively managed to ensure that their leader looks subtle at the event. “Second, I am a human, endowed with this one green Earth”. His cold shoulder mirrors the Vatican’s recent tact to distancing itself from claims that the Holy Father told her to “stay strong” in her fight against issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

In a hilarious move, Darrell Hammond enters the bar as Bill Clinton and is both shocked and disappointed. We should definitely have her sing. Wait, can she sing?

Check out highlights from the episode below, including Clinton’s incredible impersonation of Donald Trump (which might have been even better than Taran Killam’s). She also very appropriately took a backseat to Hillary Clinton during the former senator’s cameo.

Inevitability: Clinton launched her 2016 campaign pushing back hard on the perception that she expected to win – the sense of inevitability that surrounded her campaign in 2008.
