@@Iloveswedesit doesn’t really matter who was asking the questions though.. it was their answers that everybody was pissed about. It could have literally been a 10 year old asking the questions in that hearing and the answers they gave would still have been terrible. I don’t have a clue who the Stefanik girl is.. and I don’t really care. If you want to know what hypocrisy is, then ask yourself what their answers would have been if Jews were not the subject of the question and instead the questions were about genociding black people, LGBTQ, or basically any other group they regularly pander to.

I get what they were trying to do, or at least I think so. The point of the sketch was to "both sides" the issue by portraying both parties as equally incompetent. HOWEVER, that doesn't work when one side is asking simple yes or no questions about the topic of antisemitism and the other is refusing to properly answer. To be clear, I am a liberal Democrat, and I do not align ideologically with Representative Stefanik. However, even I will say that the notion of her being just as incompetent as the people refusing to outright condemn antisemitic behavior is a false equivalency. If they wanted to portray Stefanik in an exaggerated and comedic manner, that's fine, but they should have done so in a way that makes it clear that it's the college professors who we're supposed to be laughing at, not the Congress Members. There's a difference between satire and being the thing you claim to be making fun of, and sketches like this, for all intents and purposes, are a prime example of being the thing.

@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Not just a producer, NBC's president Don Ohlmeyer (sp), who was best friends with OJ. Removed from Weekend Update but they kept him on for sketches, which he hated and wasn't cut out for. Then when he broke free completely, that same Don Ohlmeyer throttled promotion of any new venture Norm took on, including his movie Dirty Work. Truly cancelled before it became popular.

[@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat]

@@trluvmn5362 It's interesting to think about, that canceling was always a thing, we just didn't have the internet to hear about it. The people getting blacklisted had no other outlet to explain what happened.

@@Dwg8210 Who cares about Charlottesville? From C-Ville, to Floyd - to J6 - they were all false flags. Set ups of perception. The same as 9/11 (Building 7?, The pentagon "plane").

[@OrthodoxInquirer]

​@@Dwg8210 There's a Prager U video about this. There were people who were not Antifa and not white supremacists at the protest in Charlottesville. Because the media just clipped out the section where he said there were good people on both sides and played it ad nauseum, no one realized he said in the next sentence that he was not talking about the white supremacists, which he totally condemned. Would he have really said the Antifa people were good? Good people on both sides meant the numerous normal people against the statue because it is a painful reminder of the past and the other side who were for history being preserved so we can learn from it. That was the majority in attendance. He did a terrible job with that press conference, but the media has lied about it until the present day.

[@myjeevie]

Thank you for the best comment here among too many who seem unclear as to what happened in Congress, namely that Ms. Stefanik represented the best of America with her courage of conviction and moral clarity conveyed in her questions. The comments here for the most part give the impression that too many have no idea what actually happened in Congress and that they regard SNL as somehow being a worthy source of information through humor rather than another biased propaganda outlet saturated in Leftist bias. That their brand of "humor" was obviously meant to be derived from ridiculing Ms. Stefanik who was clearliy condemning anti-Semitism and calling out those University Presidents who fail to do the same, the propaganda and lies of the mainstream Leftist media continues to march on. Those not seeking the actual truth from mainstream liberal media outlets enable unfortunately.

[@MasterMote]

congresswoman: does calling for the genocide of jews constitute bullying or harassment? snl: wow how confusing, i cant even fathom what was asked or how to answer. lets make a 5 min sketch about what a ridiculously worded question that is which obviously nobody would know how to answer. this is gonna be super relatable.

[@izzy4575]

[@emblemblade9245]

Um, the presidents had trouble answering and acted like it was a difficult question to make fun of the fact that the irl presidents had such horrible answers to such an easy question. How was this not apparent? I’m a democrat and I can tell that they were making fun of the genocide supporters. Maybe I’m the only type who can actually understand the joke. Ironic.

[@MasterMote]

@@emblemblade9245 i think u dont get it, and i think ud like to defend snl. usually when u mock/parody someone, u exaggerate their behavior which youre parodying. in this case, they minimized it, mainly by making it seem as if the one asking the questions was asking some sort of trick, or GOTACHA question. but then again, if ‘what is a woman’ is a ‘GOTCHA question’ then i suppose anything can qualify as a ‘GOTCHA’ question🙄 ps. snl sucks
