We might be headed for the end times, ladies and gentlemen. I say that because one of the harpies on “The View,” Joy Behar, actually defended MAGA supporters after a skit featuring Tom Hanks on the 50th anniversary episode of Saturday Night Live. Behar stated that those who support President Donald Trump had every right to be angry with the skit because it made “anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist.”
Hanks in the skit played an enthusiastic Trump supporter named Doug who was a contestant on “Black Jeopardy,” which was hosted by Kenan Thompson. At one point in the skit, Doug is uncomfortable shaking the black man’s hand, thus painting up every MAGA supporter as a racist.
“The fact remains that they’re making anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist, and that’s why they’re mad,” Behar went on to say in comments about the backlash. “I personally would never do that, because I don’t believe that any group is one thing.”
Wow. Behar standing up for folks in MAGA? Guys, I just saw a polar bear sledding down a hill in Hell. I can’t believe Behar, the Queen of the Harpies, has said something I actually agree with.
“‘Saturday Night Live’ alum Victoria Jackson told TMZ she was upset by Hanks’ appearance, and pointed to comments made by political commentator Link Lauren on X that called the sketch ‘disgusting,'” Breitbart News reported.
“Tom Hanks just came out on ‘SNL’ in a MAGA hat for a bit where he acted like he didn’t want to shake a Black man’s hand,” Lauren stated in her post.
“This show wonders why their ratings are in the gutter. Trump won the popular vote. This tired trope that MAGA is racist is disgusting. ‘SNL’ is an unfunny show for snobbish liberal elites. The current Republican Party is a big tent coalition compromised (sic) of many former Democrats. Good riddance, ‘SNL!’”

During the 2024 presidential cycle, Hanks stated he was only concerned about a second Trump administration in the short-term.
“I think there’s always a reason to be worried about the short-term, but I look at the longer-term of what this — what happened. I think there is an ongoing — look, our Constitution says, we, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, that journey to a more perfect union has missteps in it,” Hanks said in an interview with CNN.
The skit was out of line and nothing but pure leftist propaganda. SNL doesn’t seem to have gotten the message, which was clearly sent back in November, that this is not a left-wing country. It’s a right-of-center country. We don’t want radical liberalism.
We sampled it. It sucked. We want something better.
And Trump’s providing that for us.
