\n\tWith two Saturday Night Live<\/a> legends reuniting to give them the parody treatment this weekend, Pam Bondi<\/a> and Kristi Noem<\/a> have shared their reactions. <\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing host Amy Poehler<\/a> and special guest Tina Fey<\/a>\u2018s cold-open impressions of the pair, they\u2019ve since responded to the sketch, with one making light of the current militarization of Chicago and the other blaming Democrats for the government shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSec_Noem\u2069, should we recreate this picture in Chicago<\/a>? Loving Amy Poehler!\u201d wrote Attorney General Bondi on X<\/a>, sharing a screenshot of the comedians posing, with Fey\u2019s Noem toting an assault rifle.<\/p>\n

\n\tDHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented on the sketch in a statement to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cSNL is absolutely right \u2014 the Democrats\u2019 shutdown does need to end!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday\u2019s cold open<\/a> came after testimony took place on Capitol Hill this past week, with the former Sunshine State AG<\/a> repeatedly rebuffing Democratic senators over citizen-accosting ICE and American troops in U.S. cities, Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, the indictment of ex-FBI director James Comey<\/a> and the current shutdown. Or, as Poehler said in the opener, \u201cthe DOJ has many ongoing operations, and we\u2019re moving like Kash Patel\u2019s eyeballs very quickly in multiple directions at once.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn one of the fastest-moving and leanest cold opens in many an SNL, Fey\u2019s Noem exclaimed, after she tossed her machine gun aside: \u201cI\u2019m the rarest type of person in Washington D.C., a brunette that Donald Trump listens to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHarking back to Noem\u2019s memoir referencing dog killing that likely saw ex-South Dakota governor dropped from Trump\u2019s VP short list last year, tonight\u2019s skit saw Fey declaring that the idea Democrats want the shutdown over \u201cmakes me laugh more than the end of Old Yeller. \u2026 Dogs don\u2019t just get shot. Heroes shoot them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With two Saturday Night Live legends reuniting to give them the parody treatment this weekend, Pam Bondi and…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":298548,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1014,171,2399,11335,1747,1015,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-298547","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-amy-poehler","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-kristi-noem","11":"tag-pam-bondi","12":"tag-saturday-night-live","13":"tag-tina-fey","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115363975212912236","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
