Tom Hanks Face huge backlash from MAGA supporters over ‘Offensive’ Trump voter skit
Following Hollywood actor Tom Hanks’ controversial skit in which he played a Trump voter during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special, Trump supporters are incensed.
Following Tom Hanks’ portrayal of a Trump voter in Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special, Donald Trump supporters expressed their outrage on social media.
Before denouncing the skit, a number of critics were spotted supporting Trump during the Super Bowl.
A Black Jeopardy! sketch that debuted in 2014 was at the heart of the controversy. Hanks portrayed Doug, a Trump admirer wearing an American Eagle T-shirt and a “Make America Great Again” cap.
Doug surprised host Darnell Hayes (played by Kenan Thompson) by correctly answering every question, despite presumptions that the quiz was targeted at the Black community.
The irony was increased when Hayes once reached out to shake Doug’s hand. Doug is reluctant at first, but he finally accepts the handshake.
“Don’t like that, whoa, whoa, whoa,” says Hanks’ character, before he suggests, “Maybe I’ll start a show for you to come on and we’ll call it ‘White Jeopardy.’”

Conservative voters are furiously criticizing Tom Hanks on the internet.
Trump supporters strongly reacted negatively to the sketch, which prompted a barrage of criticism directed at Tom Hanks, SNL, and NBC.
Many viewers vented their annoyance on social media, accusing the portrayal of being unfair and outdated.
Benny Johnson, a conservative pundit, responded angrily, saying, “Donald Trump has never been more popular with Americans and just won a landslide election.” They haven’t gained any knowledge.
