Angry viewers claim Kamala Harris’ SNL mirror skit is plagiarized from Donald Trump’s 2015 appearance

Angry viewers noticed how Kamala Harris’ SNL skit appeared to be eerily similar to one in which Donald Trump took part in while campaigning for president in 2015.

Harris could be seen talking to herself as she made a surprise appearance on Saturday night as she sat in front of a mirror, speaking with actress Maya Rudolph who was portraying the Democratic presidential candidate.

But viewers were quick to note how the sketch was strikingly similar to one performed nine years earlier by Trump.

Kamala Harris was blasted for using her ‘fake accent’ during her surprise appearance on SNL on Saturday night.

The VP has increasingly faced accusations of using a ‘fake accent’ in recent weeks, but with only days until the 2024 presidential election, she can’t afford to lose any support, especially among black and younger voters both key to any victory.

‘Kamala Harris spent three hours rehearsing for this cringe fest on SNL. Complete with the fake black accent. This is a tough watch. Good Lord,’ one poster wrote.

Nevada Republicans lead Democrats in early voting

The best 2024 presidential election prediction could come from a Chinese market selling fake MAGA hats

Business is booming at the world’s largest wholesale market in Yiwu, China, where retailers hunt for low-cost items to fill their shelves.

The city’s international trade center is a sprawling network of 70,000 stalls spread across 12 floors.

But it is not just traders who are watching closely – political observers have their eyes trained on a phenomenon they call the ‘Yiwu Index’.

The theory goes that how well a U.S. political candidate’s replica merchandise is selling in Yiwu, the more chance they have in the upcoming election.

Notably, the ‘Yiwu Index’ was a better predictor of Donald Trump’s win in 2016 than pollsters, who were sure throughout the campaign that Hillary Clinton would be the victor.

Kamala Harris’ SNL appearance draws comparisons to Hilary Clinton’s ill-fated performance on the show
