In the sketch, Republican lawmakers responded to a series of hypothetical scenarios, answering whether or not a certain action by President Donald Trump would make them give up their support for the president.

Despite the proposed ridiculous scenarios, nothing seemed to inspire a change in heart for the lawmakers."Saturday Night Live" skewered Republican lawmakers in the cold open of its pre-Mothers Day show.

The group balked at the possibility that Trump was a Muslim, a jab at the conspiracy theory that followed former president Barack Obama, but conceded that it would be fine as long as they still got their tax cuts.

We have too much time for news media when what is on SNL qualifies as news. I don’t see the relationship between the two. It sure will help the POTUS get re-elected but if didn’t watch when it aired then I probably don’t want to see it on the news.

Oh I've NEVER seen them do that before! 🙄

It’s not devotion to Trump. It’s prostitution to Trump.

Republican Governor challenging Trump in 2020: He is impeachableRepublican Bill Weld, a former governor, former federal prosecutor and GOP veteran who served as counsel to the House judiciary committee joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber, to discuss why he is challenging President Trump for the 2020 Republican nomination. Weld says he was previously “against” impeaching Trump, but that his position “needs a little re-thinking in view of the brazenness” of both Trump and his Attorney General Bill Barr. Shouldn’t be hard to challenge Trump in anything, but I am definitely happy to see another Republican jump in the ring. Bill Weld The Purple Nosed Drinker had a very purple nose! And if you ever saw him, you would even say he blows! Trump should just ignore this guy.

Wait til he gets defeated next year, he can look forward to dozens more!! Harrassment, plain and simple. When will Democrats do their job? This was purely partisan minus 1 antiTrumper rep.

SNL asks: Could Trump do anything to lose support of Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell?The show's cold open brought together Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and Beck Bennett to riff on the seemingly blind loyalty of congressional Republicans. So NewsWeak is stooping to using SNL as a backdrop for serious, real life issues.😂🤣 Trump didn't have their support from the start which is a hell of a lot more than Dems are doing for their own questionable characters. Graham and McConnell are working with Trump now because Trump showed a willingness to work with them. Dems biased self pity party is a joke. I asked myself the same question about MSM and Obama.

Republican-led Senate panel subpoenas Donald Trump Jr.There have been plenty of subpoenas and confrontations of late, but the new subpoena for Donald Trump Jr. is wildly different from the rest. MaddowBlog The Democrats do nothing constructive except try to destroy the Trump's. I hope America is watching how this is a waste of money and time like the Mueller investigation. MaddowBlog It's a good offense, we know that Mueller DID NOT FIND ANY CONSPIRACY BETWEEN TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIANS - As RepCummings RepJerryNadler harass First Family (a continuation of Obama spy-games) we need LindseyGrahamSC to get to the bottom of WHY THE SPYING STARTED.

Republicans are the Party of stupid....and evil. Let's Do This! GOP you know Trump is Not going two terms...they get it🤡Look!
