SNL finally says screw it, Donald Trump supporters are straight-up racist
Perhaps everyone at Saturday Night Live has decided that they’ve held onto their simmering resentment from (still) Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s abysmal, deeply compromised, and horribly unfunny hosting stint earlier this season long enough. Or maybe it’s the mounting evidence that Trump’s supporter base is swelling with disaffected white voters attracted to the ugly bug-zapper glow of the candidate’s not-so-subtle race-baiting. Or maybe it’s just that the reality of this year’s even more ludicrous than usual political campaign season has left satirists with no choice but to abandon subtlety altogether. At any rate, the parody campaign ad “Voters For Trump” from last night’s otherwise lackluster Jonah Hill-hosted episode was the show’s bluntest attack on Trump and his supporters yet.
