In addition to illegally boosting @KamalaHarris, NBC's Saturday Night Live last night did a skit *literally* aimed at boosting the name recognition of Sen @timkaine. Why? Perhaps because Kaine's challenger @HungCao_VA just closed the gap & could win. It's election interference. 
Did NBC decide to boost @timkaine because his opponent @HungCao_VA could defeat him?
*By law,* NBC must give Cao "equal time."
These are flagrant violations of the law that can't be remedied in under 40 hours.

THIS IS INSANE ELECTION INTERFERENCE by @NBC
Saturday Night Live, Nov 2, 2024:
HOST: Welcome to 'What's That Name?' Election edition. The rules are simple. We show you a person, you tell us their name. This is the most important election in American history. Democracy is on the line...
KAINE: I was Hillary Clinton's vice presidential running mate. So, at the time, you said it was the most important election in American history and that democracy was on the line. It's been less than eight years. What's my name?
GUEST: Hi, it is an honor.
KAINE: You voted for me to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office in an election more recent than the release of Zootopia. What's, what's my name?
GUEST: It's not, it's not my fault if he was a more memorable guy like Tim Walz. This is very much a guy like Tim Walz. Let's see them side by side.
HOST: Not only does he look exactly like Tim Walz, his name was also Tim. Really? His name was Tim? My, my name is still Tim. I, I, I, I exist. I'm a senator representing Virginia.
HOST: Of course you are. I'll give you three options for what his last name was. Tim Clinton. Tim Tim or Tim Scott?
GUEST: Oh, two of those don't sound real. I'll go with Tim Tim.
HOST: Audience, what's that name?
AUDIENCE: Tim Scott!
HOST: It's Tim Kaine!
