“Saturday Night Live” pulled no punches this week when it came to Donald Trump’s offensive remarks about women.
Alec Baldwin again nailed it with a hilarious portrayal of the GOP presidential nominee, following his debut impression of the brash businessman on the show last week.
The skit began with a spoof of the vice presidential debate between Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. But when Beck Bennett as Pence claimed Trump had “never said a single bad thing” about women, a CNN Breaking News alert flashed up.
The show then cut to CNN’s “Brooke Baldwin,” played by Cecily Strong, who grilled Trump over the leaked audio captured during a hot mic conversation with former “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush in 2005.
Baldwin as Trump offered up a rare apology, before a hot mic predictably caught him uttering more offensive comments.

McKinnon as Clinton later did have a (slightly) more serious message for all women who are planning to vote for Trump, however:
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
