WATCH: SNL Endorses Property Damage if Derek Chauvin Not Convicted— Mocks White People for Opposing Violent Riots
Saturday Night Live took on the Derek Chauvin trial in this weekend’s cold open — blatantly endorsing political violence and property damage if he is not convicted.
The program seems to be increasingly focused on pushing left wing politics instead of comedy.
During this episode, the cast spoofed a Minneapolis morning news show to discuss the trial over George Floyd’s death in custody.
“Sounds like we all agree there’s no way Derek Chauvin walks away from this,” Kate McKinnon said.
Two black cast members, Keenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim, immediately began to express doubt.
McKinnon goes on to discuss how the defense has been arguing that Floyd’s cause of death was actually the fatal amount of drugs in his system.
