Colin Jost's SNL impression mocks Pete Hegseth's military priorities

thedailybeast.com —

Colin Jost reprised his impression of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Saturday Night Live's cold open, mocking the official while urging Republicans to vote in the upcoming midterms. Jost's Hegseth, introduced while shotgunning a beer, delivered crude remarks about military priorities and read a poem parodying Hegseth's real attempts at verse, including lines about "no D-E-I" and "no weirdos." The sketch concluded with the character weakly saying, "In conclusion, vote, I guess." The impression, a recurring feature from last season, targets Hegseth's controversial statements and public persona. The sketch aired as part of SNL's ongoing political satire ahead of the midterm elections.
