Every blue moon Saturday Night Live breaks away from the left and makes a skit blasting their extreme views. Last Saturday the crew shared a skit where they questioned if mask mandates were ever helpful. In the skit, they showcased how liberals are pressured to ‘stay in line’ or face social backlash.
It all opens with six friends, including Mulaney, dining in a restaurant and commenting on how nice it is to be out and about again. Then one of the diners brings up COVID-19 and things quickly turn tense.
After being reprimanded by her partner for bringing up a Bloomberg article questioning the efficacy of masks, the conversation plunges forward amid images of darkness and destruction for anyone daring to question the agreed-upon narrative. “It was just saying how mask mandates had, I don’t know, little to no effect on COVID …” comedian Heidi Gardner says in the skit.
“I am sorry! It’s not like I’m anti-mask or anything,” she continues with a laugh after each person at the table reacts dramatically by breaking a glass, making a face, or just hiding behind a cloth. “I just sometimes wonder if any of the things we did actually helped.”
“The science changed!” Aidy Bryant said later in the conversation as a way of defending the ever-changing stance of the CDC.
“How does science … change?” Kenan Thompson wonders. “When I make a mistake at work I don’t get to say the science changed.”
“Look, I went to a child’s birthday party, self-careful,” Kate McKinnon recalls, “and they did gymnastics in masks … (don’t) and then they went into another room and took off their masks to eat pizza — this is the end of me — so did they really need the mask or no? DID ANY OF US EVER NEED THE MASK?”
This utterance is met with the lights going out and people screaming. Because who could be so wrong about something so important for so long?
Watch
Now that we are nearing the midterm elections, Democrats have rolled back the mask mandates for the vaccinated but confused liberals continue to sport their face coverings, unwilling to admit it was all a sham.
