SNL Faces Backlash for Controversial Skit on GOP Lawmaker Instead of Antisemitism Testimony

"Saturday Night Live" faced criticism for its cold opening skit, which appeared to focus more on mocking GOP lawmaker Rep. Elise Stefanik than on the controversial testimony of college presidents regarding rising incidents of antisemitism on campuses. Many viewers expressed disappointment with the sketch, arguing that it missed the mark by not addressing the university presidents' comments adequately. The skit drew backlash for its perceived insensitivity towards the serious issue of hate speech and antisemitism.
