[See NewsBusters for more.] Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon may mock Hillary Clinton, but don’t be confused: She “loves” the Democratic politician. The comedienne appeared on Thursday’s Live! With Kelly and Michael to gush over how Clinton cares so much. After host Michael Strahan asked about her impression, McKinnon fawned, “Whenever I do an impression of someone, I have to love them. So everyone I've ever done, I personally love. And for her, what I love is how badly she wants to fix the country, and I genuinely know that.”  The comic continued, “And so I really just tapped into that spirit of, like, ‘I need to get in there and I need to make this better, and I know I can.’” Co-host Kelly Ripa joked that Clinton was in studio and a shocked (though probably joking) McKinnon jumped out of her seat. She added, “That would have been amazing though, wouldn’t it?”
