In a week both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders had some trouble with their subway cred, “Saturday Night Live” opened with a merciless mockery of Clinton’s Metrocard skills.
In a cold open in which Clinton (Kate McKinnon) tried to prove her New York Cityย bona fides, Clinton declared the subway “the best way to get around” before sliding her card, to no avail, and crashing repeatedly into the turnstile.
Here’s an excerpt from the skit:

With the New York primaries coming up April 19, the Russell Crowe-hosted “SNL”ย was unsurprisingly focused on politics in its early minutes.
