Cecily Strong Roasts ‘Eyeliner’-Wearing Vance at Kamala Fundraiser

Sen. J.D. Vance became the main target during Monday night’s “Comics for Kamala” fundraiser. Former Saturday Night Live cast member Cecily Strong used the occasion to deliver a series of cutting roast jokes aimed at the Ohio senator.

Strong collaborated with three SNL writers—Katie Rich, Josh Patten, and Pete Schultz—to craft the jabs at Vance. Alternating lines with California Rep. Eric Swalwell, Strong poked fun at Vance’s appearance and his historically low approval ratings as Donald Trump’s running mate.

“J.D. Vance looks like a composite of every guy that’s called you a bitch on Bumble,” she joked.

Continuing her ridicule, Strong said, “Vance is confusing because his rhetoric wants us to panic about immigrants, but his eyeliner wants us to panic at the disco.”

She added, “J.D. Vance has been such a mistake Trump keeps calling him Eric.”

Not even Trump was spared. “Trump wearing a maxi pad on his ear is the most support he has shown for women’s reproductive health,” Strong quipped. “There is speculation that Trump is unhappy with Vance and is thinking about getting rid of him. But he better hurry because it’s been six weeks.”

Swalwell and Strong also touched on Vance’s questionable associations, especially one involving couches. “J.D. Vance has some very strange and upsetting positions, honestly,” Swalwell remarked. “Just ask his couch.”

Strong added, “J.D. claims to be the voice of the Rust Belt, which is only true if we’re talking about his belt after he f—s an orange couch.”

The “Comics for Kamala” event featured notable celebrities such as Ben Stiller, Kathy Griffin, John Stamos, Nick Offerman, and Ed Helms, bringing in over $530,000. Earlier in the evening, Helms humorously highlighted the importance of donations, joking, “The thing that I just want everyone to hear is: pitch in. Raise that money. Raise the dough, because my appearance fee is $400,000. So Kamala doesn’t see a dime until we’re over $400,000, because that first $400,000 goes to me. That’s just the way showbiz works.”

The fundraiser was the latest in a series of themed events supporting the vice president’s campaign, following prior events like “White Dudes for Harris” and “Black Women for Harris.”
