Comedian Dana Carvey has returned to Saturday Night Live to reprise his role as the overly opinionated Church Lady. 

While Church Lady tore into Beyoncé for wearing a dress that looked like a condom at the Met Gala, the main targets of her chat were satan, a.k.a. Ted Cruz, and the Bible-loving Donald Trump.

Cruz, played by Tarran Killam on Saturday Night Live, suspended his White House run this week, making Donald Trump the presumptive Republican nominee. Before he dropped out of the race, former Speaker of the House John Boehner called him "Lucifer in the flesh."

"Was it God's plan for you to get humiliated by an orange mannequin," Church Lady asked an overtly religious Cruz, adding that he was "just a little preachy."


For his part, Trump, played by Darrell Hammond, touted his love of God, the Bible and church. 

"Honestly, I love all the books in the Bible. They’re all terrific. Corinthians Part Deux; Book of Revelations; Two Genesis, Two Furious, which says, and I quote, ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself and like a good neighbor, State Farm is there," Trump notes. "Oh, and the part where Jon Snow comes back to life, that's great Bible."
