Last week, NBC’s Saturday Night Live (SNL) portrayed Attorney General Jeff Sessions as Forrest Gump with racist inclinations.

Set at a bus stop, the skit draws on the 1994 film’s opening and closing scenes.

The slow-witted depiction of Sessions, acted by Kate McKinnon, indirectly implies Sessions is a racist.

“Sure are a whole lot of brown ones in there!” observes a startled McKinnon as she peers into a box of chocolates.

The “Russian Hacking in the U.S. Election” narrative is also advanced, with McKinnon reflecting on meetings and conversations between Russian government officials and current/former operatives of President Donald Trump’s inner circle.

The skit closes with Octavia Spencer - SNL’s guest host of the week - reprising her role from The Help, feeding McKinnon a feces-infused chocolate pie in an act of racial vengeance against a white oppressor.

A 1986 letter written by Coretta Scott King - the widow of Martin Luther King, Jr. - is also invoked in the skit. The letter was recently popularized by left-wing and Democrat-aligned news media outlets in a campaign to controversialize Sessions, framing him as an anti-black racist.

SNL’s coastal provincialism, complete with its left-wing contempt for southern Americans with accents such as Sessions’, is on full display.
