During Saturday’s “AM Joy” on MSNBC, David Sipress, cartoonist for The New Yorker, said that laughing at Alec Baldwin’s President Donald Trump impersonation on “Saturday Night Live” or watching a “terrific monologue” by TBS’s Samantha Bee is “resisting” or “pushing back” against the president.

“If you sit there and you watch Alec Baldwin on ‘SNL, ‘ and you’re laughing, or you’re watching a terrific monologue by somebody like Samantha Bee, and when you’re laughing, you have the feeling that you’re resisting a little bit, that you’re connected to other people who agree with you, and are pushing back,” Sipress told host Joy Reid.
