Summary

Tom Hanks reprised his 2016 “MAGA” character, Doug, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, sparking backlash from Trump supporters.

The sketch, Black Jeopardy!, featured Doug again hesitating to shake hands with a Black host.

Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive, calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.

    Not a new account chuckles, check the date. Hole one.

    What I was saying and you have been told by others is that Hanks’ portrayal is more charitable than they deserve and it makes yhem look like garden variety racists. Hole two.

    I feel Hanks went soft on them.

    You are worked up about a version of what I said in your fucking mind.

    If you were blocked or blocked me why did you go out of your way to be offened?

      Again, I don’t really care about holes at this point and I admittedly didn’t check your account date. I’m not sure if I have you blocked or not, I was perhaps a bit sensitive because I have the ever present dread that the US will continue to be a fascist state from here on out.

      If you think Hanks went soft, I misunderstood your comment and we agree.
