Vice President Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance on the final episode before Tuesday's presidential election, sparking discussions on social media about similarities to a skit involving former President Trump and Jimmy Fallon in 2015.
In the sketch, Harris appeared alongside her impersonator, Maya Rudolph, in a cold open. The scene depicted Harris offering advice to Rudolph's character in a mirror reflection setting.
While some viewers praised the sketch, others pointed out similarities to a skit performed by Trump in 2015. The comparison led to mixed reactions on social media, with some criticizing Harris for allegedly copying Trump's style.
Notably, Trump and his running mate have accused Harris of plagiarizing policies and changing positions to align with Trump's views.
Despite the controversy, mirror sketches like this have been a recurring theme on shows like SNL. Fallon has previously performed similar sketches with celebrities like Mick Jagger and Mitt Romney.
Following reports of Harris' cameo, the Trump campaign disparaged her appearance on the show, criticizing her lack of substantive offerings to the American people.
The spokesperson for the campaign, Steven Cheung, took aim at Harris, attributing her appearance to a 'warped fantasy' and criticizing her policies as causing 'untold misery and hurt for all Americans.'
