SNL Under Fire for Controversial Antisemitism Skits

Calls for an apology are growing after Saturday Night Live (SNL) aired a cold open sketch mocking GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for her criticism of elite college presidents over anti-Semitism. The sketch, which attempted to make light of the college presidents' testimony, received little laughter and drew criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Many are calling for SNL to apologize for missing the mark and prioritizing "woke" humor over addressing the leaders' failure to denounce harassment. The sketch has been described as "vile" and "appalling," with accusations of anti-Semitism. SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who is Jewish, has not commented on the controversy.
