Saturday Night Live kicked off this week’s cold open with Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine, featuring the inimitable Cecily Strong as the unhinged pundit/Trump acolyte Jeanine Pirro. And the first item on the menu was the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, where the 18-year-old was acquitted on all charges after using an illegal gun to kill two people in a different state during a Black Lives Matter protest for Jacob Blake, a Black man who was shot seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
