SNL with Kamala Harris has references to Trump rallies in Wisconsin

There’s always a Wisconsin connection, even when Vice President Kamala Harris makes a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Harris, who left Milwaukee Saturday morning after spending the night here following her campaign rally and concert in West Allis, appeared on the SNL “cold open” with Maya Rudolph, who regularly plays Harris on the show.

The cold open included references to recent rallies her opponent, Republican former President Donald Trump, has held in Wisconsin.

In one scene, James Austin Johnson, who plays Trump, wore an orange high-vis vest, like the one Trump wore Wednesday during his rally near Green Bay. Trump wore the vest to draw attention to comments by President Joe Biden in which he appeared to call Trump supporters “garbage” after a comedian disparaged Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash” at a Trump rally.

The actor echoed Trump’s comment about protecting women “whether the women like it or not,” which has drawn sharp criticism from Harris and others, before battling with a broken microphone like the one that angered Trump during his Friday night meeting at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. .

Harris then appeared as Rudolph’s mirror image to give advice.

“I’m just here to remind you that you have this,” Harris said. “Because you can do something your opponent can’t do. You can open doors.”

“I see what you did there. Like a garbage truck, right?’ Rudolph said before bursting into a Harris-inspired laugh.

That was a reference to Trump struggling to open the door of a MAGA garbage truck he was riding for his rally in the Green Bay area.
