Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has made a cameo appearance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" comedy show, making jibes at Donald Trump over his age and mental competency.
The former South Carolina governor has been campaigning ahead of her home state's Republican primary later this month, in an effort to close the gap in polling between herself and former President Trump.
Haley appeared in a comedy sketch set at a fake "CNN Town Hall", where "Trump," played by cast member James Austin Johnson, was being asked questions by an audience.
Making an unannounced appearance, Haley was intruduced half way through the sketch as "someone who describes herself as a concerned South Carolina voter". Haley then asked: "My question is, why won't you debate Nikki Haley?".
The fake "Trump" then replied, "Oh, my god, it's her! The woman who was in charge of security on Jan. 6... Nancy Pelosi!", with a nod to Trump's recent seeming confusion over Pelosi and Haley.
"Are you doing OK, Donald? You might need a mental competency test," Haley said. Haley has pitched herself as a younger, more capable alternative to both former President Donald Trump and the Democratic frontrunner, President Joe Biden.
"Trump" told Haley that he "aced" the competency test and said, "They told me I'm 100% mental, and I'm competent because I'm a man."
He added that women "should never run our economy. Women are terrible with money... in fact, a woman I know recently asked me for $83 million." A New York civil jury recently awarded writer E. Jean Carroll $83 million in damagaes from Trump, ruling that the ex-President had defamed Carroll after she alleged he had raped her.
A later joke about the 1999 movie The Sixth Sense led to "Trump" saying "I see dead people". Haley replied:
