共和党总统候选人妮基·黑利意外客串在《周六夜现场》的冷门上映期间，嘲笑由演员詹姆斯·奥斯汀·约翰逊扮演的虚构的“唐纳德·特朗普”拿她过去的争议开玩笑谈论内战。

在对美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)市政厅的恶搞中，这段大约两分钟的出场以女演员兼喜剧演员阿约·埃德比里(Ayo Edebiri)的主持而达到高潮，她批评了海莉过去的言论，她最初没有将奴隶制列为内战的主要原因。

在小品中，海莉被介绍为“关切的南卡罗来纳州选民”，她在与约翰逊版本的特朗普来回切换时说了几个俏皮话。

她首先问前总统的漫画:“你为什么不与妮基·黑利辩论?”——抨击现实生活中特朗普决定不辩论是因为他在共和党初选中大幅领先于她。

“特朗普”随后惊呼，“天哪，是她，1月6日负责安保的那个女人，是南希·佩洛西。”这是对特朗普最近失言的回应，他在一次竞选活动中似乎把海利和前众议院议长搞混了。

“唐纳德，你可能需要一个心理能力测试，”海莉反驳道。

“特朗普”随后表示，他“参加了考试，我得了满分。”

“满分。他们说我100%有精神病，”他开玩笑说。

“我有能力，因为我是个男人。这就是为什么女人永远不应该管理我们的经济。女人不擅长理财。事实上，我认识的一个女人最近向我索要8330万美元，”他点头补充道作家e .简·卡罗尔赢得的赔偿金在特朗普被发现诽谤她后，她说他对她进行了性侵犯，他也因此被陪审团认定负有责任。

(他否认这一点，并誓言要上诉。)

作为对“特朗普”开“第六感”玩笑并声称“我看到了死人”的回应，海莉在“SNL”上开玩笑说:“是的，如果选民看到你和乔(拜登)在选票上，他们就会这么说。”

当“特朗普”说他将在南卡罗来纳州击败她时，哈利问道:“你在上次选举中赢得了你的家乡吗?”

但FX电视台《《熊家餐馆》》的主演之一埃德比里在最后取笑了海莉。

“我只是好奇，你认为内战的主要原因是什么?你认为它是以‘S’开头，以‘Lavery’结尾吗?”Edebiri扮演一名市政厅观众问道。

“是的，我也许应该在第一次说这句话，”海莉笑着说，然后进入节目的标志性介绍。

海莉随后在X上发布了自己的亮相，写道她在节目中“玩得很开心”。

“我知道唐纳德的就寝时间已经过了，所以期待着早上疯狂的推文流，”她补充道。

她在深夜露面之际，正准备在南卡罗来纳州的共和党初选中与特朗普交锋。南卡罗来纳州是共和党总统候选人提名的下一场角逐。

前南卡罗来纳州州长海莉最近因其关于内战的言论而成为头条新闻。

在12月的一次市政厅会议上，她最初并没有提到奴隶制是这场冲突的主要原因之一——而是说这场战争关系到“政府将如何运作”和“自由以及人们能做什么和不能做什么。”

海莉很快收回了最初的回答，并在竞选活动中多次称这一回应是错误的。

上周在“早餐俱乐部”广播节目中，海莉说她“忙于判断”提问者的“意图”，而我只是在回答问题。这是一个错误。”

“奴隶制应该是我说的第一句话，”她说。

In surprise 'SNL' appearance, Nikki Haley jokes about Trump and her Civil War slavery controversy

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley made a surprise cameoduring "Saturday Night Live"'s cold open, mocking a fictional "Donald Trump," played by cast member James Austin Johnson, andjoking about her past controversytalking about the Civil War.

The roughly two-minute appearance during a parody of a CNN town hall culminated with actress and comedian Ayo Edebiri, the episode's host, zinging Haley for her past comments in which she initially failed to name slavery as a main cause of the Civil War.

Introduced in the sketch as a "concerned South Carolina voter," Haley delivered several quips as she went back and forth with Johnson's version of Trump.

She began by asking the caricature of the former president, "Why won't you debate Nikki Haley?" -- jabbing at the real-life Trump's decision not to debate because of his large lead in the GOP primary race over her.

"Trump" then exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's her, the woman who was in charge of security on Jan. 6, it's Nancy Pelosi." It was a callback to a recent gaffe by Trump in which he appeared to confuse Haley for the former speaker of the House at a campaign event.

"Donald, you might need a mental competency test," Haley retorted.

"Trump" then said that he "took the test, and I aced it."

"Perfect score. They said I'm 100% mental," he joked.

"And I'm competent because I'm a man. That's why a woman should never run our economy. Women are terrible with money. In fact, a woman I know recently asked me for $83.3 million," he added, a nodto the damages won by writer E. Jean Carrollfrom a New York civil jury after Trump was found to have defamed her after she said he sexually assaulted her, for which he was also found liable by a jury.

(He denies that and has vowed to appeal.)

In response to "Trump" making a joke about the "Sixth Sense" and claiming, "I see dead people," Haley joked on "SNL": "Yeah, that's what voters will say if they see you and Joe [Biden] on the ballot."

And when "Trump" said that he was going to beat her in South Carolina, Haley asked, "Did you win your home state in the last election?"

But it was Edebiri, one of the stars of FX's "The Bear," who, at the end, poked fun at Haley.

"I was just curious, what would you say was the main cause of the Civil War? And do you think it starts with an 'S' and ends with a 'Lavery,'" Edebiri asked, playing a member of the town hall audience.

"Yep, I probably should have said that the first time," Haley said, smiling, before segueing into the show's signature intro.

Posting about her appearance on X afterward, Haley wrote that she "had a blast" on the show.

"Know it was past Donald's bedtime so looking forward to the stream of unhinged tweets in the a.m.," she added.

The late-night appearance comes as she is preparing to face Trump in South Carolina's Republican primary, the next contest in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

Haley, a former South Carolina governor, recently made headlines for what she said about the Civil War.

At a December town hall, she initially did not mention slavery as one of the main causes of the conflict -- instead saying the war was about "basically how the government was going to run" and "freedoms and what people could and couldn't do."

Haley soon walked back her initial answer and has repeatedly called the response a mistake on the campaign trail.

Appearing last week on "The Breakfast Club" radio show, Haley said that she was "too busy judging" the questioner's "intentions then I was just answering the question. And it was a mistake."

"Slavery should have been the first thing that came out of my mouth," she said.
