SNL Writer Offers Oral Sex For Anyone That is Willing to Punch A Covington MAGA Kid

January 22, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

One of the stranger reactions to the whole viral video controversy, which arouse this past weekend next to the Lincoln Memorial, was that of Saturday Night Live comedy writer Sarah Beattie offering oral sex to anyone who was willing to punch a Covington High child in the face.

“I will blow whoever manages to punch that MAGA kid in the face,” tweeted Beattie on Friday.

The thought of someone offering fellatio to anybody willing to punch a minor in the face is an obvious no-no, which is why the tweet was quickly deleted after a backlash arose. Still, she refused to apologize and doubled down on her opinion of the controversy with another tweet, which read: “Oh yes the kid who was marching against women’s reproductive rights while wearing a hat promoting an evil homophobic racist misogynistic sociopath was TOTALLY misrepresented.”

Beattie’s Twitter bio reads, “writer. comedy person. I hate your ex boyfriend. Sorry I meant mine. I have big tits.” Her Instagram page is labelled as “tits and depression,” and is curiously very much centered on her aforementioned cleavage.

And to think that #MeToo was all about freeing women from having to use sex to get what they want from men. Where do you actually fit into all that Miss Beattie?

No matter which side you’re on with this controversy, this is quite the unusual story and we just love to report on stuff that deserves to be on #NotTheOnion.
