He’s got Brittney Griner back, he’s maintained his same-sex marriage and he’s only 14 sleeps away from Santa,” Colin Jost said at the top Saturday night live’latest edition of “Weekend Update”. But just when Biden “thought he had it all under control,” he added, “Kyrsten Sinema was like, ‘Keep my wig.'”
Note that this week saw the Arizona senator defected from the Democratic Party just days after the Democrats won a majority of 51 seats, Jost joked, “Sinema explained, ‘Pay attention to me.’”
From there, Jost turned to the news about WNBA star Brittney Griner’s back home after almost a year in a Russian prison – and the feedback it received from Fox News experts and other conservatives.
