SNL just celebrated Trump being stricken with coronavirus to a strong round of applause.

Jim Carey's Biden: "America. Look at me. Look directly into my eyeballs you can trust me because I believe in science and karma. Now, just imagine if science and karma could somehow team up...

...and send us all a message about how dangerous this virus can be. [LAUGHTER] I'm not saying I want it to happen just imagine if it did." [LAUGHTER] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

And then tonight's host Chris Rock said this to applause, cheers, and laughter: "Before we even get started let's -- you know, the elephant in the room. President Trump's in the hospital from COVID and you know, I just want to say my heart goes out to COVID."

Rock ending his monologue by calling for an upending of the U.S. government, repeatedly saying "they" (as in all conservatives, Republicans, & non-Democrats) have to be stopped and "don't want you to vote." In other words, people on the right are the enemy of the people to them.

Here's the video. After having used a TV remote to freeze Alec Baldwin's Trump, Carrey's Biden steps out from his debate podium to say he wishes "karma" and "science" would collide regarding coronavirus before looking over at "Trump." Sure enough, crowd goes crazy in approval.

Correction for typo: Yes, I know I spelled his name wrong in the second tweet of this thread. It's Jim Carrey.
