Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy dropping out of the Speaker’s race has left the GOP in a scramble. Saturday Night Live‘s “Weekend Update” though has some suggestions about filling that role.
Cast member Colin Jost figured that the Republican party is left in scraps. He then suggested that, “in the spirit of Halloween, they should just stitch those scraps together, into some kind of Frankenspeaker.”
“And you know what, I think I know just the doctor who’s crazy enough to do it.” Jost was, of course, referring to Ben Carson.
Jost had another novel idea about the Speaker. This one had to do with Justin Bieber. No, it’s not Justin Bieber himself, but rather his penis, in light of nude photos of him surfacing. Jost got the idea since “basically, it was no one’s first choice.”
While Jost argues that “the Speaker of the House has to appeal to everyone, without truly satisfying anyone,” he does think such a candidate could be a problem for Republicans with how leftist it would likely be.
Such comments prompted fellow cast member Michael Che to ask “yo, how long did you look at that picture?”
