Tina Fey returns to SNL

Tina Fey has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump and white supremacists at the Charlottesville rally during a surprise appearance on a Saturday Night Live special on Thursday.

The former 30 Rock star, who worked on the U.S. sketch show from 1998 to 2006 and was best known for anchoring the Weekend Update segment, made an appearance behind the news desk once again for the Summer Edition of Weekend Update on Thursday.

Besides co-host Colin Jost, she told viewers that, as an alumni of the University of Virginia, the recent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville "broke my heart" before blasting Trump for failing to condemn the neo-Nazis for the violence that broke out between them and counter-protesters and placing the blame on "both sides".

"I'm feeling sick because I've seen (Indiana Jones movie) Raiders of the Lost Ark and I wasn't confused by it. Nazis are always bad. I don't care what you say," she joked to Colin before talking about similar rallies that have been planned around the U.S. including one in New York.

"Part of me hopes these neo-Nazis do try it (in New York) and get the ham salad kicked out of them by a bunch of drag queens, because you know what a drag queen still is? A six-foot-four black man," she joked.

Tina, wearing the university's sweater, was then presented with a cake bearing the American flag and proceeded to eat it messily while talking, telling people who are frustrated by current events that they should do the same.

During her cake-eating rant, she said, "Next time, when you see a bunch of white boys dressed in polo shirts, screaming about taking our country back and you want to scream, 'It's not our country, we stole it!'

"And when they have a peaceful protest at (Native American reservation) Standing Rock we shoot at them with rubber bullets... but we let you chinless turds march through the streets with semi-automatic weapons."

She concluded by saying, "Don't yell it at the Klan. Yell it into the cake" as she proceeded to scream into the cake.

Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, fellow SNL alumni, returned too, dressed up as presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, to have a comedic discussion about Confederate-era statues being taken down.
