Arrgh! GOP matey Nikki Haley be sailin' on "Saturday Night Live" just this past Saturday, givin' her rivals, that scurvy former President Trump, a taste o' her sharp tongue.
GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley made an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" during a mock CNN town hall skit. Playing the role of a concerned South Carolina voter, Haley asked former President Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, why he wouldn't debate her. Trump jokingly mistook her for Nancy Pelosi, referencing his previous confusion between the two. Haley also quipped about Trump's mental competency, prompting him to boast about acing a test and asserting his competence as a man. In response, he attempted to give her a nickname, referencing the movie "Sixth Sense." Haley fired back by suggesting that voters would find Trump and Joe Biden more alarming than seeing dead people. Ayo Edeberi, who stars in "The Bear," also asked a question, alluding to Haley's previous gaffe regarding the cause of the Civil War. Haley admitted her mistake and clarified that she now believes slavery was the spark for the war. However, she emphasized that the larger issue was the role of government in people's lives. Haley had faced criticism for not explicitly mentioning slavery as the cause during a town hall event in December. Throughout the skit, Haley showcased her humor and ability to engage in playful banter with her political opponents.
