I watched this and laughed the most of the way through.
They nailed. Jim Carry was so good as Biden. Maya Rudolph was excellent as Kamala Harris.
Enjoy!
Too bad it is total fiction almost the exact opposite of what really happened. Wallace read NO rules at the onset of the debate. It wasn't Trump who kept interrupting, especially at the onset, it was Biden and even Wallace for nearly the first full 20 minutes! At that point, Trump probably figured that he might as well do as well and join in if he was ever going to get anything he wanted to say in. After that it just fell apart as Wallace interrupted Trump more and more forcing Trump to become more combattive in his defense.
There was nothing funny about the skit other than the fact that it just perpetuates the stereotypes the left WANT to believe, and so become even more believable to them now that they have seen them perpetuated yet one more time.
I dare you to prove me wrong by going back and actually watching what happened and taking careful notes as I did.
It's comedy, not historical record.
No, it's political subterfuge
disguised as comedy. It is the impression that they WANT you to believe actually happened. I mean, look at the number of people in this thread who actually said how ACCURATE it was! It wasn't even within a MILE of what actually happened! Not even a good caricature of it.
I'm firmly in support of Trump, but I felt he would have served himself better by showing restraint a few times. However, given the circumstances, I thought he did a pretty good job. Much better than Biden.
That being said, it was satire/comedy and I snickered some. There are people who will believe almost anything. The earth is flat.. the mothership is coming... Democrats ain't racist. All kinds of wild stuff out there and some of it's hilarious.
Did you think the portrayal of Biden was positive?
No, but the left will laugh at that portrayal, inaccurate as it was as well, but still vote for him because they REALLY SEE Trump as BEING just like that skit portrayed. Actually worse.
And maybe I'm extra sensitized to it because
THE SKIT MADE NO MENTION OF THE ROLE WALLACE PLAYED. Going back and carefully re-watching the debate and keeping notes, Wallace actually protected Biden and was decidedly hostile and antagonistic towards Trump. Wallace clearly has a thing against Trump and often interfered in the debate when it came to Trump's ability to answer questions!
But what REALLY set me off was this morning, I saw Wallace again POUNDING Trump on TV, hammering him under the assumption that Trump's resistance to wearing a mask is why he got infected when he doesn't know that at all. Football players are under the tightest of restraints right now to stay Covid-free for the season, yet the whole Tennessee Titans team just got sick!
But what gets me about the skit is that while making a show of the bad behavior of the candidates, they just as inaccurately portrayed Wallace's contribution as if he was a non-participant in the melee when Wallace actually CAUSED it.
Then on TV this morning amidst everything else, Wallace came up with the incredible lie that Trump interrupted Him 145 times! What was Wallace doing that Trump could interrupt him 145 times? The moderator is supposed to just ASK A QUESTION, not be PART OF THE DEBATE.
I subtracted the 17 minutes that Trump did nothing but answer questions, remembered that both Trump and Biden had about equal speaking time and figured out that about 12-15 minutes (maybe 13 minutes) was spent with Wallace speaking. For Trump to interrupt Wallace 145 times, Trump would have had to interrupt Wallace EVERY FIVE SECONDS.
Do even Trump haters believe Trump cut Wallace off every FIVE SECONDS over a 90 minute period?
I wonder if Wallace understands that in a debate, people come there chiefly to HEAR THE CANDIDATES, not the moderator, and maybe when the president speaks, even if a few seconds out of time, turn or not quite on topic, he should just SHUT THE **** UP AND LISTEN.
Clearly, Chris Wallace was far more interested in impressing the world with his moderation, even if it came at the expense of the president, than he was in America getting the best and most from the two candidates!
