Cast members imitated Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” that imagined what it would be like if Cruz turned into Satan.
The sketch drew on a remark from former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) who said that Cruz was “Lucifer in the flesh.” Cruz later ended his bid for the White House after Trump triumphed in the Indiana primary.
“SNL” brought back a segment, The Church Lady, who introduced Cruz as “Satan.” Cast member Taran Killam as Cruz called the nicknames “hilarious.”
He later again appeared in the segment as Satan himself alongside a pretend Trump.
“I am no longer Ted Cruz,” he said, arguing that he was the “Lord of shadows.”
“You sure you aren’t Lord of the weak chins?” Darrell Hammond as Trump asked.
