Ah, yes, because someone like Bill Maher truly understands the nuances of racism.
On Sunday’s episode of Maher’s podcast, “Club Random,” the comedian took issue with a “Saturday Night Live” sketch that was featured on its 50th anniversary special in February for implying that supporters of President Donald Trump are racist.
In the skit, titled “Black Jeopardy,” Tom Hanks reprised his role as Doug — a MAGA-hat-wearing white guy who, according to Maher, refuses to shake a Black man’s hand.
Maher’s assessment of the sketch is one interpretation. In the sketch, Keenan Thompson’s host character approaches Doug for a handshake. Doug recoils in fear before eventually accepting it.
Maher said on his podcast Sunday that he “hated” the sketch and felt that those who wrote it just don’t get MAGA.
