“Yesterday, Trump was inaugurated, today an entire gender protested against him.”
Aziz Ansari didn't pull any punches when he took the stage on this week's Saturday Night Live, a day and a half after Donald Trump was inaugurated as President. “Pretty cool to know though that he’s probably at home right now watching a brown guy making fun of him," the Master of None star said, referring to Trump's history of tweeting his own reviews of SNL when the show features him.
Ansari suggested that you can't paint all of Trump's supporters with the same brush, comparing them to Chris Brown fans who are "just there for the tunes."
"Donald Trump is basically the Chris Brown of politics," Ansari added. "'Make America great again' is his These Hoes Ain't Loyal.”
The host also directed his monologue at a "new group" he called the "lowercase kkk." A "kind of casual white supremacy."
"You gotta go back to pretending (you aren't racist)," he joked. He then implored Trump to make a speech condemning the “lowercase kkk.” “Don’t tweet about me or the show being lame."
Ansari ended his monologue on a hopeful note for those scared by the Trump presidency.
“Change doesn’t come from presidents. Change comes from large groups of angry people. And if Day One is any indication, you are part of the largest group of angry people I’ve ever seen.”
