SNL50: Republicans up in arms over return of Tom Hanks’ racist Trump supporter

The 50th-anniversary special of ‘SNL’ aired on Sunday



Tom Hanks portrayed a MAGA supporter named Doug on SNL's Black Jeopardy sketch, wearing a MAGA hat and other related attire. This led to backlash from Republicans, who criticized the sketch for mocking Trump supporters as racist. Commentators like Benny Johnson and Mario Nawfal defended Trump's support, including minorities, and called the portrayal tiresome. Additionally, some conservatives pointed out that the character refused to shake a black man's hand, further fueling criticism.
