SNL Cuts Slick ‘Racists for Trump’ Campaign Ad

This week’s Saturday Night Live followed up its Trump-centered “campaign coverage” of the 2016 presidential race with another shot at Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, this time in the form of a dead-on campaign ad parody. The spot rolls out looking like every other slice-of-America campaign spot, and even though it telegraphs the reveal, the gag pays off because the execution is so spot-on.

The bit is a culmination of the week-long David Duke controversy that Trump has been embroiled in.
