Trump Campaign Condemns SNL Skit on Assassination Attempts

The Trump campaign has condemned 'Saturday Night Live' (SNL) for a skit in its season premiere that joked about recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. Actor James Austin Johnson, portraying Trump, referenced the incidents during a mock rally, attributing the attacks to the rhetoric of the radical left. The Trump campaign expressed its outrage on social media, calling the skit 'disgusting' and accusing NBC of finding humor in violence against Trump. The controversy was further fueled during SNL's 'Weekend Update' segment, where Colin Jost made additional jokes about the assassination attempts. The backlash highlights ongoing tensions between Trump supporters and mainstream media's portrayal of the former president.
