Pete Davidson had some words for Kanye Wests' latest Trump antics. During his bit on SNL's Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che, Davidson gave a recap of Kanye's pro-Trump speech after appearing on the show. West was musical guest during last week's episode and shocked SNL with a post-show rant in support of Trump.
Calling it the 'worst, most awkward thing' he's ever seen at SNL, Davidson called out Kanye and questioned his mental health. According to the Huffington Post, Kanye revealed to TMZ Live that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had stopped taking his medication. Davidson, who has been publicly open about his struggles with depression and anxiety, urged West to take his meds. 'Take 'em!' Davidson said. 'There’s no shame in the medicine game. I’m on ’em. It’s great.'
In his most defiant statement, Davidson held West accountable. 'Being mentally ill is not an excuse to act like a jackass,' he insisted. 'I’m quoting my therapist, my mom and my mailman.'
Pete ended his bit by pulling out a red hat, similar to Trump's MAGA hat, with the words 'Make Kanye 2006 Again.'
