Arrr, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas be none too pleased with them scallywags at "Saturday Night Live" poking fun at President Biden and his crew. Methinks they be walkin' the plank if they keep up their shenanigans! Aye, the gall of those landlubbers!
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas found himself the subject of a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that humorously poked fun at President Biden's age, prompting a response from him on Sunday. The sketch featured Mayorkas being interviewed by CNN's Dana Bash, a scenario that actually played out on CNN's "State of the Union" the following morning. The actor portraying Mayorkas on SNL defended Biden's agility at the border, claiming he witnessed the president perform superhuman feats during his visit. Mayorkas joked that behind closed doors, Biden was a dynamo, parkouring over the border wall and flipping into the Rio Grande to catch a fish in his mouth.When asked about the sketch, Mayorkas responded with good humor, praising the portrayal by George Clooney, even though Marcello Hernández played him in reality. Bash noted the concern over Biden's age among Americans, to which Mayorkas emphasized the president's detailed focus and operational skills. Despite the comedic exaggeration, Biden's recent visit to the border in Brownsville, Texas, showed significantly lower migrant encounters compared to Trump's visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
