Bobby Moynihan Political Views

Bobby posted a photo on Twitter of him holding a sticker that said “I voted” the day of the election.  Underneath the photo, he had written “What a lovely day. Go Vote! #I’m with her.” That sounds to us like he’s a Democrat.(2)

However, he may be a moderate liberal or with conservative and/or Republican beliefs. Speaking on a morning talk show in September 2017, Moynihan was asked why he left the cast of SNL. “[Last season] was just a different season,” he said. “It was very politics heavy, very Trump heavy and that’s not necessarily my favorite.” (3)
