Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley crashed “Saturday Night time Dwell” on Feb. 3 to taunt Donald Trump (performed by James Austin Johnson) in a city corridor sketch, however ended up getting schooled by host Ayo Edebiri.

Popping up on the finish of the sketch, Edebiri posed a pointed query: “I used to be simply curious, what would you say was the primary explanation for the civil battle? And do you suppose it begins with an S and ends with a ‘lavery’?”

“Yeah, I in all probability ought to have mentioned that the primary time,” Haley admitted.

Edebiri’s joke was a reference to a December 2023 city corridor in New Hampshire the place a voter requested Haley what precipitated the battle, to which she responded, “I feel the reason for the Civil Battle was principally how authorities was going to run. The freedoms and what folks may and couldn’t do.”

Earlier than Edebiri appeared, Haley was the one asking the questions. She confirmed up abruptly, asking Johnson (as Trump), “Why gained’t you debate Nikki Haley?,” referencing Trump’s refusal so far to take part in debates for the 2024 presidential race.

“Oh, my god. It’s her,” he replied. “The girl who was in command of safety on Jan. sixth. It’s Nancy Pelosi!” He went on to reference being sued by Stormy Daniels, saying, “Girls ought to by no means run our economic system. Girls ought to by no means run our nation. A girl I do know requested me for $83.3 million.”

“Do it’s essential to borrow some cash?” Haley retorted.

Earlier within the sketch, Johnson joked about right-wing conspiracy theorists who imagine Taylor Swift is a authorities psyop.

“President Trump, if elected, what would you do to cease Taylor Swift from infiltrating the Tremendous Bowl and stealing the election?” requested a voter performed by Heidi Gardner.

“That’s really one of many smartest and most researched questions I feel probably ever heard. Everyone knows that Biden has brainwashed Tay-Tay,” he mentioned. “Now they’ve acquired Tay-Tay pretending so far Tray-Kay. He can’t even get Taylor tickets close to the sector. He’s acquired her method up in somewhat field. So unhappy.”
