In the aftermath of the Stormy Daniels allegations against President Trump, Cecily Strong’s Stormy Daniels stopped by Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update to explain that Stormy Daniels is the hero America deserves.

Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told In Touch magazine in 2011 that the alleged sexual trysts with Trump began in July 2006 after she met him at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nev. The meeting and alleged affair came a year after the future president had married Melania Trump, his third wife.

Introducing her, Colin Jost joked, “This week, I was finally able to Google ‘Stormy Daniels’ on my work computer.”

Strong’s Daniels said, “I’m like a liberal hero, even though I’m a Republican porn star who loves Sarah Palin,” Turning to Jost, she added, “Unlike your industry, we actually have female directors.”

Shedding light on the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office, Strong noted that Stormy Daniels is what America deserves, joking that when you choose Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to safely take you home over Trump, and then elect Trump, “you get a Stormy.”

Discussing the in-fighting that has happened within the left and Democratic party, Strong commented that since last year’s Women’s March where millions of women around the world marched for equal rights and protections, some momentum has been lost within the movement.

“I get it. I’m not what people think their hero would look like, but guess what America? I’m the hero you deserve right now. Ladies, when it’s the one-year anniversary of the Women’s March, and you’re arguing who gets to say Me Too? — you get a Stormy. And my hashtag isn’t Time’s Up. It’s (expletive) up.”
