"Sometimes Trump haters prove to be his best allies. Their venom shows us they either lack common sense or intelligence or both. Such was the case with Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennen, and the European ministers."
"Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of President Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left.
"In its too-long 50th anniversary spectacle, Saturday Night Live offered a skit in which marquee actor Tom Hanks did an impression of what the left thinks is a supposedly Neanderthal Trump supporter.
"The episode was NBC's tele-version of the recent Obama-Hillary Clinton-Biden vocabulary of cheap MAGA disparagement: clingers, deplorables, irredeemables, chumps, dregs, semi-fascists, and ultra-MAGAs.
"Most of those stereotyped props were evident in Hanks' character. He was wearing a red MAGA hat (real and not the fake versions of Jussie Smollett's wild and sinister imagination).
"Hanks sounded off as a superstitious evangelical, a slow-speaking Southern twanger, and a poorly dressed slob.
"And of course, the SNL writers insisted that he play the gratuitous racist. So, Hanks, as a clueless Black Jeopardy contestant, initially refused to even shake the hand of the African-American, assumed intellectually and morally superior, game show host.
"We are supposed to believe the Hanks caricature is in contrast with progressives -- usually represented in society as the bi-coastal enlightened, well-spoken, and snappily dressed." . . .
