Watch: Stress-Eating Tina Fey Hopes a Bunch of Drag Queens Kick 'The Ham Salad' Out of Neo-Nazis
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A sheet cake stress-eating Tina Fey returned to the "Saturday Night Live" "Weekend Update" desk Thursday night to call out the president, white supremacists, conservative politicians and pundits over the events leading up to and following the violence in Charlottesville that left three dead and dozens injured.
"It broke my heart to see these evil forces descend upon Charlottesville," Fey, a 1992 graduate of the University of Virginia began. "Then our president, Donald John Trump - which I don't think people talk enough about what a stupid, jackass name that is. Donald John? Whatever! He gets away with it because he's gorgeous. Anyway, Donny John comes out and he says that he condemns violence on many sides, and I'm feeling sick because I've seen�'Raiders of�the Lost Ark'�and I wasn't confused by it. Nazis are always bad. I don't care what you say."
Fey also made mention of numerous similar white nationalist rallies planned in cities across the country including New York.
"Part of me hopes these neo-Nazis do try it in New York City and get the ham salad kicked out of them by a bunch of drag queens," she said. "Because you know what a drag queen still is? A 6'4" black man."
Fey then suggested that rather than take part in a screaming match at a rally, those opposed to white supremacists "find a local business you support, maybe a Jewish run bakery or African-American run bakery." The "30 Rock" creator then broke out a sheet cake, which she began to stress-eat while railing on Paul Ryan and Ann Coulter, whom she called "yard sale Barbie."
Her parting advice was that all sane Americans "treat these rallies this weekend like the opening of a thoughtful movie with two female leads. Don't show up. Let these morons scream into the empty air."
