With the election one week away, tensions and anxiety are at an all-time high among the weary electorate. Chris Kelly, who wrote and directed this year’s Sundance hit “Other People” and also serves as co-head writer of “Saturday Night Live,” took aim at the amount of attention Hillary Clinton’s emails have received compared to Donald Trump’s various scandals throughout the election. “Hillary’s emails would literally have to say this for it to be a close call,” he wrote in a tweet attached to a screenshot of a fake note written by the Democratic nominee for president.

Here’s the full note:

“Psst. Just wanted to let you know I think climate change is fake. Also, women should be punished for abortions. Plus, Mexicans are rapists and criminals, and Muslims (all of them) should be treated like terrorists. Oh, and get this: I haven’t paid taxes in years. Like, almost no taxes at all. Alright, gotta run, Tim Kaine wants to chat about how conversion therapy is good. And when we’re done, I’m gonna grab him by the cock, which I’m allowed to do because I’m famous.

You’re a 4 at best,

Hillary”
