Sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live was roundly mocked online this
weekend for its cold open on Saturday which bizarrely targeted GOP Rep. Elise
Stefanik (NY) for her questions during a recent Congressional hearing on
anti-Semitism in colleges and universities, instead of the college leaders
who were widely panned for their testimonies.
During the hearing, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill refused
to acknowledge that calling for the genocide of Jews violates UPenns code of
conduct on bullying and harassment. The testimony was so jarring, it
culminated in Magills resignation on Saturday following wide backlash, as
reported by The Daily Wire.
The cold open, however, largely took aim at Rep. Stefanik, who was visibly
stunned that the collegiate leaders seemed to run cover for students calling
for genocide of Jews (video below). And folks online noticed.
A new low for SNL, Winston Marshall remarked. Conservative Emily Zanotti
commented in response, I mean, I get that SNL is typically a mess, but how
do you watch that hearing and come out of it thinking Stefanik was the right
target of satire?

If there is no truth in satire, its not funny, Rob Carson said. This
isnt funny.

After three university presidents were universally panned for their
testimony about anti-Semitism on campus, SNL decided that [Elise Stefanik]
was the one who embarrassed herself, Greg Price posted.

X account Libs of TikTok commented, [Elise Stefanik] handled the pro
[genocide] University Presidents beautifully. So of course SNL mocks her.
This is so difficult to watch. Isnt SNL supposed to be funny?

This is the worst SNL opener in the history of the show, X account Citizen
Free Press said. No one in the audience is laughing. This plays like a
humiliation ritual.

Serious question: Is there anyone on either side that actually thinks this
is funny? noted another conservative politico. I mean there was plenty of
comedic material from that hearing, but SNL somehow managed to cover it in
the cringiest way imaginable.

Rabbi Shmuel Reichman called the skit the most embarrassing hes ever seen.
In a postmodern world, people think they get to choose their truth, and then
rewrite everything in order to fit their narrative. So SNL had a moral
choice: admit the obvious: that the testimony of the presidents of Harvard,
Penn, and MIT were universally considered to be one of the most disastrous
congressional testimonies in U.S. history testifying in front of Congress
that they could not condemn calls for genocide against Jews unless they
became conduct,' he wrote. Or stand by the cringeworthy stance of the
radical left, that antisemitism is cool and hip, and Elise Stefanik was the
one who made a fool of herself. Guess which one SNL chose?
