The Hollywood star, Tom Hanks, receives a violent reaction after its appearance at Saturday Night Live (SNL).
The “Forest Gump” actor played a Trump supporter for the 50th anniversary of the show with a magician hat and wearing a rural accent.
The actor also played the same character in a 2016 SNL parody that was issued only a few days before President Donald Trump was chosen for his first term in office.
Reacting to the controversial sketch in X, Link Lauren, former political advisor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called a “tired trope”, and suggested that it is the reason why the qualification of the program is decreasing.
For Tom Hanks fans, who are not aware of his political association, the actor is not a Trump supporter.
He has publicly expressed his opposition to the Republican, in particular criticizing Trump’s comments and behavior, particularly in relation to the “Hollywood access” tape and Trump’s lack of political experience.
Hanks has also supported political figures of the Democratic Party, including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
