A Mike Pence press conference on the coronavirus was taken over by 2020 Democratic presidential candidates in the cold open for 'Saturday Night Live.'
Thompson's Carson likened coronavirus to Stitch from Disney’s"Lilo & Stitch" and encouraged citizens to purchase a"Make America Great Again" facial mask from the White House website as a precaution against the virus.
"It may take a couple months for delivery because they are made in Wuhan, China," Thompson's Carson added, referring to the Chinese city where the first cases of coronavirus were identified. The press conference was transformed into an impromptu Democratic debate after a handful of presidential candidates crashed it with their own insights, including Michael Bloomberg.
When Bennett’s Pence asked Bloomberg how he got into the news conference, the former New York mayor said, "I just walked in coughing and everyone got out of my way."
