Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
In the “SNL” sketch, actress Maya Rudolph, who was playing the vice president, spoke with Harris, who was playing a mirror reflection of Rudolph’s caricature, about stopping the “chaos” and “dramala” in American politics (the latter is a running joke of the show making light of Harris’s name).

Trump was not offered the same invitation to appear on “SNL” as Harris, Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich reported. The Trump campaign is reportedly reviewing whether Harris’s appearance merits a formal FCC complaint.
Broadcasters must offer candidates seeking the same political office comparable time and placement, Section 315 of the Communications Act states. …

Any TV show like SNL that makes its content about a political figure then invites them onto the show is trying to use and boost to give one another an advantage over the hearts of the viewers. It is an act of favoritism.
