On last night’s Saturday Night Live, Alec Baldwin revisited his Donald Trump impersonation to address the now-infamous leaked video of him saying vulgar, misogynistic things about women.
The sketch opened with a recreation of last week’s vice-presidential debate, with Beck Bennett’s Mike Pence saying, “[Donald Trump has] never said a single bad thing about women and I dare you to show me a single shred of evidence that proves otherwise,” before cutting to a CNN interview with Baldwin’s Trump in the immediate aftermath of the leaked video’s release.
“Are you not entertained,” Baldwin-as-Trump says almost immediately, before stating the vulgar words Cecily Strong’s Brooke Baldwin isn’t allowed to say on air: “Grab them by the pussy.”
He then tries to “appleagize” to a confused Baldwin, who asks if he meant to say “apologize.”
“I would never do that,” Trump responds. “What I’m doing is appleagizing to all the people who were offended by my statements, but more importantly, to the people who were turned on by them. I heard it was 50/50.”
He then justifies his lewd comments by saying, “What red-blooded American doesn’t want to impress Billy Bush?”
When Baldwin asks what he’d say to reassure women voters, Trump says, “I would say, ‘Listen, women, if you give me a chance I promise I can do a whole lot more than grab it. I can also bop it, twist it, and pull it.”
When the “interview” ends, Trump is again caught on a hot mic. “I wish that I was that hurricane, tearing through all of that hot Miami pussy. I would just destroy it.”
The sketch then cuts to Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, where Kate McKinnon’s Clinton is shown celebrating and drinking champagne as she says Trumps’s comments were “disturbing” and made her “horribly depressed.”
The clip ends with Baldwin’s Trump again getting caught on a hot mic, this time calling Ted Cruz a “pussy he’d like to grab.”
