The website DeportRacism.com owes Larry David $5,000. During Donald Trump’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live, David shouted “Trump’s a racist,” a phrase the political action committee said would net its speaker a cash bounty if spoken during the broadcast.
“Trump’s a racist,” David said at the end of Trump’s opening, before adding, “I heard if I yelled that, they’d give me $5,000.”
“As a businessman, I can respect that,” Trump said in response.
Following the joke, DeportRacism.com praised David for saying the line, and noted that it would pay him the cash reward. “Joke or not, it was true. Go Larry!” the PAC wrote on Twitter.
Trump didn’t appear in the episode’s cold open, a sketch built around the South Carolina Democratic forum, but he did come face to face with two generations of Trump impersonators, Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond, during the monologue. “They don’t have my talent or money or especially my good looks,” Trump said of his impersonators.
