Kate McKinnon might be swamped with Ghostbusters press, but she still made time to whip out her Ruth Bader Ginsburg impression for MSNBC’s Republican National Convention coverage Wednesday.
It all started in early July when Ginsburg went on the record stating that she thinks Donald Trump is a “faker” and an unfit presidential candidate.
In traditional Trump fashion, he tweeted his dissatisfaction with her remarks:
Justice Ginsburg of the U.S. Supreme Court has embarrassed all by making very dumb political statements about me. Her mind is shot – resign!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2016
Is Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg going to apologize to me for her misconduct? Big mistake by an incompetent judge!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2016
Even the @NYTimes and @WashingtonPost Editorial Boards condemned Justice Ginsburg for her ethical and legal breach. What was she thinking?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2016
If I win the Presidency, we will swamp Justice Ginsburg with real judges and real legal opinions!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2016
But Weekend Update host Colin Jost gave Ginsburg a chance to defend her honor Wednesday night in a very special convention edition of Saturday Night Live‘s news segment they called Gins-burns.
Notorious RBG came out strong and kept the Ginsburns coming at #RNCinCLE on @msnbc.https://t.co/DF3HD8KCaz

Something tells us this is the closest we’ll ever get to hearing RBG say, “Look, if my mind is shot, then Donald Trump’s mind is shot, stabbed, strangled, put in a vat of wet cement, and dumped in the Gowanus canal.”
