Co-host Jay Pharoah, who mocked the president-elect in the same bit, says no apology is needed.

He wrote on Facebook: “Everybody pump the brakes one damn minute! Over the last 8 years the beautiful Michelle Obama has been the victim of excessive slurring!”

Green Day, who also called out the president-elect during their AMA performance, have not apologized for borrowing lines from Texas punk band MDC and leading the crowd in a chant of “No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA.”
