"Saturday Night Live" pounced on Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., with a profanity-laced sketch roasting the Capitol Hill veteran for a condescending and defensive exchange with young activists who asked her to support the Green New Deal.
Cut from Saturday's show because of time constraints, SNL's Cecily Strong plays Feinstein and mockingly repeats the senator's real-life claim to the schoolchildren and young adults the plan is "not very realistic."
The children then argue the planet is dying, to which Strong-as-Feinstein responds, "you're going to tell me how to do my job?"
"I don't come into your first-grade classroom and knock the Elmer's glue out of your mouth, do I?" Strong asks the wide-eyed school kids. "So, why don't you stay in your lane and step the f–– off."
The actress then asked for repeated "do-overs" after ripping the activists in repeated scenes in which they air their climate concerns.
The real-life exchange between Feinstein and the young activists went viral after it was posted Feb. 22, and has since had 93,000 views.
Though Feinstein got ripped on Twitter for her cold response to the kids, conservative Ben Shapiro joked "I love Dianne Feinstein now."
