A best-selling author and Rabbi slammed a recent 'Saturday Night Live' skit, alleging that it was a 'complete breakdown of comedy.' Rabbi Shmuel Reichman, author of 'The Journey to Your Ultimate Self,' argued that Elise Stefanik's skit was proof of the alleged 'hypocrisy and toxicity' within liberal ideology. The NBC show is under fire for its 'tone-deaf' sketch depicting testimony by Harvard, UPenn, and MIT presidents against anti-Semitism at the country's top universities.

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: This sneeringly out-of-touch sketch was as unfunny as the rancid antisemitism it excused - no wonder it died a well-deserved death. Now the terminally woke SNL should do the same

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 11, 2023
This weekend, 'Saturday Night Live' on life-support for years, well and truly died. The new cold open at SNL's most recent cold open, ostensibly mocking three presidents' congressional testimony at America's top universities - the smirkiest of whom, Liz Magill of UPenn, took aim at the wrong target only hours before airtime, was shot at the wrong target. Elise Stefanik, the Republican congresswoman whose inquiry into the hidden origins of tolerated antisemitism on college campuses, seems to have been like the village idiot. Cecily Strong, a SNL actress who performed Stefanik in the dress rehearsal, was unable to move after being 'uncomfortable' with the sketch. In Chloe Troast's live show, this Stefanik was shrill, unhinged, atonal, unstylish, and dumb, presumably on the wrong side of history.

In a sketch mocking HER for questioning the 'vile answers from the university presidents' in Congress, Elise Stefanik's office rips SNL's "unfunny, morally bankrupt 'comedians' for "spewing antisemitic garbage.'

Elise Stefanik's staff is firing back at NBC's Saturday Night Live's 'appalling' sketch depicting evidence from Harvard, UPenn, and MIT's presidents regarding anti-Semitism at the country's top universities. Stefanik's line of inquiry in the sketch came at a hearing last week where she placed the liberal university's presidents in the hot seat, asking whether calling for the genocide of Jews' would breach their schools' code of conduct. The presidents were described as anti-Semites and chastised for failing to immediately condemn any calls for genocide. And although SNL thought the congressional testimony were amusing, Liz Magill of UPenn, who was forced to resign due to the backlash, was a natural consequence.
