Cast member Pete Davidson, 27, played Gaetz on the show and referred to the politician as a “full-on sex pest.”
Asked by another character if “these allegations are going to hurt you in the next election”, Davidson replied: “Weirdly, in my district, they might help,” referring to Gaetz’s Florida constituents.
Yet, some viewers pointed out that in 2019 Davidson dated 18-year-old Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford.
One tweeted: “Pete Davidson as Matt Gaetz is a little too on the nose.”
After Davidson played under-fire NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week, another wrote: “Pete Davidson playing Cuomo and now Gaetz…he’s cornering the market on creepy politicians.”
But the comics were not finished bashing the Republican.
On the show’s Weekend Update, host Colin Jost laid into the congressman as well.
He started by saying that Gaetz “looks like a caricature artist’s drawing of me.”
Jost then quipped: “(Gaetz) is reportedly under investigation an alleged sexual relationship with an underage girl, because Gaetz believes that only voters should have to show ID.”

He added: “It’s also being reported that Gaetz may have paid for sex with women he met online. That story has since been confirmed by his whole vibe.”
This comes as Gaetz is allegedly facing imminent arrest as his jailed pal Joel Greenberg is “singing to the feds” amid their sex trafficking probe.
Greenberg, a former Tax Collector in Seminole, Florida, was involved with setting up dates with the girls, the New York Times claimed citing people with knowledge of the encounters.
A source told the Daily Mail that Greenberg, who is currently in jail after being hit with a string of charges in 2020, including sex trafficking a minor, is likely giving up dirt on the Florida Republican to investigators.
As for Gaetz, he’s denied all of the allegations, instead insisting that the underage sex story is part of a plot to extort his family to the tune of $25million.
Sources say that Gaetz’s arrest is looming, after an alleged victim reportedly testified in a Florida court that she had sex with the representative before she turned 18.
The congressman told The Hill on Friday that has no plans to step down and rumors of his resignation are “false” and it is “very safe” to say he does not intend to quit.
The Times alleges that Greenberg would use “sugar baby” sites and that both he and Gaetz would pay women for sex at hotels.
The encounters allegedly took place in 2019 and 2020.
Sources said that Gaetz would take the drug ecstasy before having sex, the Times reports.

Gaetz’s office issued another statement calling the new allegations “disgusting” and again maintaining the congressman’s innocence.
“Matt Gaetz has never paid for sex,” the statement said. “Matt Gaetz refutes all the disgusting allegations completely.”
“Matt Geatz has never ever been on any such websites whatsoever. Matt Gaetz cherishes the relationships in his past and looks forward to marrying the love of his life.”
