This week was filled with shocking allegations of misogyny and crude comments about women. And those were just the allegations against [Picture changes to Ken Bone] Ken Bone. The bigger story of course this week [Picture changes to Donald Trump] is that Donald Trump has been accused of a range of sexual misconduct by now 10 different women. But the truth is, they’re still just allegations. This is America and Trump is entitled to a defense. So, let’s hear him out.
[Cut to video of Donald Trump’s speech]
Donald Trump: When you looked at that horrible woman last night, she would not be my first choice, that I can tell.
[Cut to Colin Jost]
Colin Jost: Wow. That wouldn’t be my first choice for a defense. If she wasn’t your first choice, the problem is you weren’t here choice, period! And what are you trying to tell us exactly? If you did find her more attractive, then you would have groped her? It’s like telling your girlfriend, “Oh, come on. I would never cheat on you baby. I don’t even have any good options right now.” And by the way, we’d probably believed Trump more if while he talked he wasn’t groping the air the entire time.
[Cut to Michael Che. There are pictures of different women at right top corner.]
Michael Che: Trump of course is claiming his accusers are only coming out now for fame and publicity. Yeah, that’s every little girl’s dream. To be forever known as the 7th woman groped by Donald Trump. [Picture changes to Donald Trump] He also believes these accusations are part of a conspiracy to rid the election. Only Donald Trump could have sex scandals, no political experience, poll at 0% with minorities and still say, “If I lose, it’s rigged.”
[Cut to Colin Jost. There’s a picture of Donald Trump at left top corner.]
Colin Jost: And then this morning, Trump tweeted [Cut to Donald Trump’s tweet] “Nothing ever happened with any of these women. Totally made up nonsense to steal the election. Nobody has more respect for women than me!” [Cut to Colin Jost] Now, of course we know when Trump tweets, he sometimes makes some typos. So, maybe let’s just correct that one at the end for him. “Nobody inspects women more than me!” Yes, I got that.
And now republicans are worried that Trump’s tanking so hard that they might actually lose control of the house. Which could be the first time Trump’s ever gotten white people evicted from a building. [Picture changes to United States Capitol.]
[Cut to Michael Che. There’s a picture of Donald Trump at right top corner.]
Michael Che: It’s pretty funny to watch republicans jump off board on Trump now. Like, now? It took you till now? It’s like when people tell me, “You know who is talented is that Kendrick Lamar.” And I’m like, “Yeah, you think?”
But say what you will about Donald Trump, his supporters are sticking by him. There are still women on TV defending Donald Trump. How are these women so forgiving of Donald Trump? I once reposted a twerk video of Facebook and my own mother blocked me. There is people that love Donald Trump so much that they’re willing to overlook these allegations and I can understand that. Look, I’m a huge fan of Michael Jackson because of ‘Thriller’, and ‘Off the wall’. But that doesn’t mean I can’t admit that he has done some terrible things too. Like that Invincible album, or that song you made with Eddie Murphy. What was that? It was almost as bad as the stuff you did to those kids.
[Cut to Colin Jost. there’s a picture of Hillary Clinton at left top corner.]
Colin Jost: Cool. Meanwhile, wikileaks released all these emails from Hillary’s campaign and no one’s talking about them because the Trump stuff is so much more ridiculous. Who would have thought that [Picture changes to Julian Assange.] master mind hacker Julian Assange would do less damage than Access Hollywood’s [Picture changes to Billy Bush] Billy Bush. And now at this point, [Picture changes to Election 2016] this whole election is like the movie Up. It got really sad really fast. And no matter who wins, we’re gonna still have to come together as country after to deal with our problems. We can’t just balloon our way out of it like this guy who, [Picture changes to the old man character of the movie Up] let’s face it, is definitely a Trump supporter. That’s why it upset me when Bill Clinton came out and dismissed all Trump supporters as ‘Basic Rednecks’, coz after the election when we go to war with Russia, the people we’re gonna ask to go and fight that war are the people you just called ‘Basic Rednecks’.
[Cut to Michael Che. There’s a picture of US map at right top corner.]
Michael Che: By the way, Bill, you’re a little too old to be using that word ‘basic’. And yeah, if we have a war, I don’t want a bunch of snarky liberals out there fighting for me, with their good taste and skinny jeans. I want somebody that dresses like John Cena, listens to Nickelback and has never met an Asian. That’s who is going to kick some ass. I’ll call liberals when I want a pointed think piece.
