“This show wonders why their ratings are in the gutter. Trump won the popular vote. This tired trope that MAGA is racist is disgusting. SNL is an unfunny show for snobbish liberal elites. The current Republican Party is a big tent coalition compromised of many former Democrats. Good riddance, SNL!” she wrote on social media platform X.

The original sketch had appeared in a 2016 episode of SNL, where Hanks played Donald Trump supporter, Doug. In the scene, Doug wears a MAGA baseball cap and refuses to shake hands with Darnell Hayes, played by Kenan Thompson. He also mentions starting a show 'for you to come on', which he calls 'White Jeopardy'.

Tom Hanks riled Donald Trump supporters on Sunday with the return of his MAGA-touting hillbilly character on Saturday Night Live. The veteran actor was one of dozens of SNL alums who appeared on the sketch show’s 50th-anniversary special.
