The answer is
The Saturday Night Live cold open this weekend featured Chuck Todd (portrayed by Kyle Mooney) interviewing prominent Republican senators on Meet The Press, and trying to get an answer to this question: What might cause them to end their support of President Donald Trump? It was slim pickings.
“This week, President Trump has escalated his trade war with China,” said the fictional Todd, referencing the failed US/China trade talks and a new 15 percent increase on tariffs for certain Chinese goods. “It’s estimated that this will cost the country $1.4 trillion in market value. Now, you all have opposed tariffs in the past — but you all support the president’s tariffs now.”
“Well, Chuck, there’s a simple answer to that,” said cast member Beck Bennett, portraying Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). “There was no collusion.”
“Okay, but I”m asking you about China,” Mooney’s Todd responds.
“Okay, uh-huh,” the fictional McConnell answers.
“Let’s try Lindsey Graham,” Todd says. “After opposing tariffs for decades, why do you suddenly support them from President Trump?”
Kate McKinnon’s celebrated Lindsey Graham character answers by satirizing a defense many conservatives have used when confronted with reports of Trump reportedly having lost quite a lot of money in his businesses ventures.
