What did Bill Burr say on SNL?

Bill Burr hosted the Saturday Night Live for the second time on November 9. In his monologue, he joked about the recently conducted US presidential elections and how Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris to be the next president.

During his monologue, he sarcastically joked about how the United States has never seen any female President. He said,

"All right ladies, you’re 0 and 2 against this guy, but you learn more from your losses than your wins."

Bill Burr further jokingly suggested some ways for the female presidents to win the election.

"So let’s get into the game tape: All right, ladies, enough with the pantsuit, OK? It’s not working; stop trying to have respect for yourselves. You don’t win the office on policy, you gotta whore it up a little bit. I’m not saying go full Hooters but find a happy medium between Applebee’s and your dad didn’t stick around."
"You all know how to get a free drink. And I know a lot of ugly women, feminists I mean, don’t want to hear this message, but just tease them a little bit. Make a farmer feel like he’s got a shot.”
