Tom Hanks is facing criticism for reprising the bigoted part of” Doug,” a White Trump admirer who wears a purple MAGA helmet, during Saturday Night Live‘s 50th anniversary special.

” If more people went to church, we wouldn’t be in this mess we are in today”, he said.
Thompson consented and crossed above to Hanks.
” I agree with you, Doug. I’d like to shake your hand, sir”, Thompson said as he reached out for a greeting. Hats resisted shaking fingers, as if to give in, before giving in.
” You are encouraged on Black Jeopardy anytime”, Thompson said after shaking his hand.
” Even I’ll start a present for you to travel on, and we’ll visit it’ White Jeopardy,‘” Hanks remarked.
” We don’t need it”, Thompson retorted.
Numerous Trump supporters were upset about the sketch because it promoted prejudiced views of Republicans.
” This advertising is naive and isn’t funny. When did they study?”? Chaya Raichik, user of Libs of Tiktok, reacted on X.
Journalism columnist Jon Levine reacted, “SNL may do a monologue about what happens at light dinner parties in Manhattan when one mentions Clarence Thomas.”
Meghan McCain said on X,” Tom Hanks usually wants to pretend he’s the likeable protagonist but he’s as hate monger of regular Americans as any number on MSNBC,” adding,” Good fortune becoming less and less historically relevant by the second bro.”
” This isn’t only annoying, it’s not electronically funny”, Fox News contributor Joe Concha said. Trump won more Dark votes than any other Republican in the previous 50 times.
