MAGA Outrage Over Tom Hanks’ ‘SNL50’ Sketch Is Understandable, Says Joy Behar: They Made ‘Anyone Who Voted for Trump Look Like a Racist’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Tom Hanks‘ surprise appearance at “SNL50” sparked Republican backlash on social media, but some outspoken Democrats such as “The View” co-host Joy Behar understand the outrage.

Hanks popped up as Donald Trump supporter Doug during the anniversary show’s “Black Jeopardy” sketch, a character he first played on “SNL” eight years ago.

Sporting a red MAGA hat, Doug freaks out when Kenan Thompson’s “Black Jeopardy” host goes to shake his hand. “The fact remains that they’re making anyone who voted for Trump look like a racist, and that’s why they’re mad,” Behar said about the backlash. “I personally would never do that, because I don’t believe that any group is one thing.” “A lot of these people [who voted for Trump], in my opinion, have been misled,” she continued. “They thought that grocery prices would come down.

They’re up. They thought inflation was coming down. It’s up. They thought that Medicaid was safe. It’s not. They thought Social Security was safe.
