Weekend Update: Matt Gaetz Venmo Sex Scandal - SNL

>>> IT'S "WEEKEND UPDATE" WITH COLIN JOST AND MICHAEL CHE. >>> THANK YOU, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. >> WELCOME TO WEEKEND UPDATE, I'M MICHAEL CHE. >> I'M COLIN JOST. >>> OUR FAVORITE FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ HAS SLID BACK INTO THE NEWS BUT THIS TIME IT'S GOOD. ALLEGEDLY HE SENT $900 ON VENMO TO A SEX TRAFFICKER WHO THEN FORWARDED THAT SAME EXACT MONEY TO THREE YOUNG WOMEN IN PAYMENTS LABELED "TUITION AND SCHOOL," WHICH IF TRUE WOULD MAKE HIM THE ONLY CONGRESSMAN ACTUALLY HELPING WITH STUDENT LOANS. AT LEAST GAETZ IS TAKING THE ALLEGATIONS SERIOUSLY. THAT'S WHY YESTERDAY HE SPOKE AT THE WOMEN FOR AMERICA FIRST SUMMIT, WHICH IS A NICE CHANGE TO SEE WOMEN PAY FOR AN HOUR WITH MATT GAETZ. MY FAVORITE MOMENT WAS WHEN GAETZ POINTED OUT HOW MUCH SUPPORT HE'S GETTING FROM OTHER POLITICIANS. >> THIS PAST WEEK HAS BEEN FULL OF ENCOURAGEMENT, FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND JIM JORDAN. >> OH, NO. DID HE THINK THOSE WERE GOOD CHARACTER REFERENCES? WHO IS NEXT ON HIS LIST? THE GHOST OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN? >> SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL SEEN HERE WATCHING A CHILD GET INTO A STRANGER'S BAN DENOUNCED CORPORATIONS POSING GEORGIA'S NEW VOTING LAWS AND SAYING STAY OUT OF POLITICS, GEORGIA'S ENOUGH RULE FOR BLACK PEOPLE. DONALD TRUMP. REMEMBER HOW ANGRY YOU WOULD GET ASSEMBLING A DRESSER? NOW IMAGINE AT THE END OF THAT YOU HAD A GUN. ALSO, IT'S WEIRD SEEING A GUY DOING A CLINT EASTWOOD IMPRESSION BE PRO GUN CONTROL. YOU COULD PUT HIM INTO "GRANTOR -- GRAN TORINO" AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW. >> I WAS GETTING TEXTS SAYING I'M ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACCINE BUT EVERY TIME I CLICKED THE LINK, IT WAS JUST A PICTURE OF THIS GUY. >> CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM WHO ASKED HIS BARBER FOR THE AMERICAN PSYCHO HAS ANNOUNCED A COMPLETE REOPENING PLAN THAT CRITICS ARE SAYING IS A DISTRACTION FROM THE GOVERNOR'S MANY SCANDALS. IT'S A MOVE THAT HAS OTHER GOVERNORS ASKING, DID IT WORK?
