Tom Hanks is facing backlash over his controversial MAGA-themed skit, with many viewers outraged by what they see as a racist performance.

The actor has been criticized for portraying a President Donald Trump supporter as a naive “racist” in a sketch featured during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary celebration.

The Hollywood star reprised his role as Doug, a clueless character sporting a Make America Great Again hat who surprisingly excels at Black Jeopardy, a satirical game show. The Daily Mail reported on the controversy surrounding the skit.

How did SNL mock President Donald Trump during the show?

Hanks originally introduced Doug on Black Jeopardy! in 2016, aiming to highlight both the differences and unexpected similarities between President Trump supporters and Black culture.

However, MAGA supporters have since pointed out that Trump has won the popular vote in primaries and gained support from a diverse range of voters, making Doug’s character an outdated stereotype.

In this updated version of the skit, Doug refused to shake hands with host Darnell Hayes, played by Kenan Thompson. This moment sparked outrage among President Trump supporters, who criticized both Hanks and SNL for what they considered an unfair portrayal.
