“Weekend Update” co-anchor Colin Jost mocked former President Donald Trump for baselessly insinuating that President Joe Biden used cocaine during his State of the Union address last month.
In a recent interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee suggested, without evidence, that Biden used the drug after Trump brought up cocaine discovered at the White House last year. (The Secret Service didn’t find a suspect following an investigation.)
Jost pointed to Trump’s description of Biden being “all jacked up at the beginning” of his SOTU address and that “by the end, he was fading fast.”
“Huh? It almost sounds like Donald Trump knows exactly what it feels like to be on cocaine. You know, at the beginning, you got a lot of energy,” Jost quipped as a clip was shown of Trump dancing to the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” at a rally during his 2020 campaign.
“But then, you’re fading fast,” the “SNL” star continued, turning to a clip of Trump’s voice trailing off at a rally last month.
