California Rep. Nancy Pelosi's viral moment with a reporter made easy fodder for this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live." Wide-eyed Kate McKinnon played Pelosi on "Weekend Update," a segment on which she was asked about her furious reaction to Sinclair Broadcast Group reporter James Rosen's question at a Thursday press conference. "Do you hate the president, Madam Speaker?" Rosen asked. "I don't hate anybody," Pelosi angrily responded. She added: "As a Catholic, I resent your using the word 'hate' in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president, and I still pray for the president. I pray for the president all the time. So don't mess with me when it comes to words like that." In the "SNL" sketch, McKinnon's Pelosi derisively calls the reporter "Breitbart Ryan Seacrest" and goes on to pray for President Donald Trump. Kate McKinnon as Nancy Pelosi and anchor Colin Jost during Weekend … [Read more...] about Nancy Pelosi’s prayers for Trump spoofed on ‘SNL’
