Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took on the moment that White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says cost CNN’s Jim Acosta his hard pass during their latest show.

Earlier this week, after a testy exchange with President Donald Trump during a press conference, a White House intern tried to take Acosta’s mic.
