“Saturday Night Live” continues to utilize its grasp on pop culture to turn the public against President Donald Trump, and when it comes to good taste, the show is going further and further out on the limb.
On this weekend’s show, a short skit featuring CNN’s Jake Tapper and Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was done based on the film, “Fatal Attraction.”
The end result, which showed little respect for Conway as a woman, was creepy as hell, with little humor to be found:
Kellyanne Conway is *not* going to be ignored by @jaketapper. #SNL pic.twitter.com/ttdTYjBOUY

A GIF was included on the SNL Twitter feed that was equally disturbing:

Then again, this is not the first time SNL has denigrated the first woman to run a successful presidential campaign.

In a recent skit that also included a portrayal of Tapper, the Trump aide was depicted as a “dumb blonde” in a flighty interview that made her look like the late Anna Nicole Smith.

Jake Tapper responded to the skit on Twitter with a simple, “Um.”

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter, including Tapper responding to whether he was aware that he’d be featured on the show. And while liberals seem to love what they see, the other half of the country doesn’t share their affinity:

@nbcsnl @jaketapper I recall when SNL used to be funny and not political. Now it just panders to the left and irritates half the country

SNL skit on Kellyanne Conway was awful and really crossed a line. Several lines. But Spicer skit was hysterical.
