"I've stood by your side this whole campaign," Cecily Strong's Melania Trump begins in a sorrowful voiceover in Saturday Night Live's Beyoncé parody sketch, "your beautiful, dutiful Melania." But now, as one woman after another steps up to accuse Donald Trump of sexual assault, Melania is over it.
The clip sees all the women of Trump's life — Melania, daughter Ivanka (guest host Emily Blunt), campaign manager Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon), one black friend Omarosa (Sasheer Zamata), and perpetually ignored other daughter Tiffany (Vanessa Bayer) — singing their anger with Trump in a perfectly reworked version of Beyoncé's 'Sorry' from her latest album, Lemonade. There's also a cameo from a very sad Mike Pence.
The song closes with a still-angry chorus of, "Without us you wouldn't be standing there/You'd just be the guy with the weird hair" — until Alec Baldwin's Trump walks in and announces it's time to go. Except for Tiffany. Never Tiffany.
