Attorney General Pam Bondi on Sunday adopted a biting parody of “Saturday Night Live” of her and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“@Sec_Noem, should we recreate this image in Chicago?” the attorney general wrote in a post above a photo showing the episode’s host, Amy Poehler, portraying Bondi and another SNL alumna, Tina Fey, as an assault rifle carrying Noem.
“I love Amy Poehler!” Bondi tweeted.
Poehler, in Saturday’s cold and open SNL sketch, spoofed Bondi’s controversial testimony last Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Bondi, during this appearance, blocked questions from Democratic senators and insulted them.
“I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump,” Bondi told Senator Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, after asking if the White House had consulted her before deploying federal troops in that city.
On Saturday, Poehler channeled Bondi, telling the committee: “What’s up, nerds? Furious to be here.”
When asked if she was willing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, Poehler scoffed and replied, “No.”
“Before you don’t respond, I’d like to insult you personally,” Poehler told Mikey Day, the actor who plays Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
When asked by another “senator” if the FBI found photos of President Donald Trump during a raid on the residence of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Poehler responded: “Sir, I’m not even going to dignify that question with a lie. »
Bondi, for months, has been criticized for reneging on her promise and that of other Justice Department officials to make investigative files on Epstein public.
Bondi wasn’t the only Trump loyalist to be roasted by SNL. When Fey appeared in the opening skit as Noem, she said she was “the rarest type of person in Washington, D.C., a brunette that Donald Trump listens to.”

When Day argued that Democrats wanted to end the government shutdown, Fey said, “Ha, that makes me laugh more than the end of ‘Old Yeller.’
“When will the dog get shot?” Day asked him.
Fey replied, “Dogs don’t get shot. Heroes shoot them.”
While serving as governor of South Dakota last year, Noem revealed in her memoir that she killed her 14-month-old puppy, Cricket, and an unidentified goat because the dog had an “aggressive personality” and the goat was “mean and mean.”

Noem’s memoir was published while she was being considered as Trump’s vice presidential candidate. She was not selected for this role.
“I can understand why some people are upset by a 20-year-old story about Cricket, one of our ranch’s working dogs,” Noem wrote in a statement. Message last year.
“Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never handed over my responsibilities to anyone else. Even though it is hard and painful. I followed the law and was a responsible parent, dog owner and neighbor,” she added.
