Yep, that was definitely Melissa McCarthy in Spicey drag weaving through Midtown on a podium

From: NewNowNext

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… an embarrassment to our democracy.

Yes, Sean Spicer may be a squirmy mouthpiece to the abomination that is the Executive Branch, but at least we still have Melissa McCarthy on SNL.

And if you happened to be wandering around midtown Manhattan Friday morning, you might have been lucky enough to spot the actress in full Spicey drag, swerving through traffic on her trusted steed podium.

Here’s what the bizarre — yet no-more-bizarre than what’s actually happening in Washington — scene looked like:

McCarthy is hosting Saturday Night Live tonight, so expect a whole lot of tomfoolery at the Trump administration’s expense. We’re guessing there will be some shrubberies mixed in there, too.
