In a gross example of the sick and twisted sense of humor that tickles the funny bones of the anti-Trump hate cult, Saturday Night Live joked about the deadly assassination attempt on the former president.
On Saturday’s edition of the long-running NBC late-night flagship that serves as a propaganda showcase for the Democratic party, James Austin Johnson, the show’s fake Trump is depicted at a rally making light of the Butler, PA shooting that nearly killed Trump.

In a clip posted to X, Johnson who replaced Alec Baldwin as Trump, urged supporters to “come on back because we’re having fun.”
The comic added, “we love my rallies, except when somebody goes bing bing bing bong bing right at me… you know that happened because of the rhetoric of the radical left.”
“There were two assassination attempts against President Trump within a span of seven weeks,” the Trump War Room reminded NBC, which “apparently finds that funny. Disgusting.”
It was a jaw-droppingly tasteless joke, all the more so because it seeks to absolve Democrats and their winged monkey in the media for their “Trump is Hitler” rhetoric that has pushed the buttons of unstable freaks like Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh, the first two would-be assassins to try to kill the Republican nominee, with more likely to come.
SNL may think its a hoot to joke about the Butler shooting, but the loved ones of Trump supporter Corey Comperatore, a retired firefighter who was shot by Crooks as he tried to protect his family. Two other rallygoers were critically injured in the failed assassination attempt.
X users reacted with disgust and outrage over the vile dismissal of the deadly shooting.
You realize a man was killed and two others seriously wounded, right?
But, go ahead with your pathetic little show.
It just reveals the truth of how ridiculous you are.

If a Republican did this we’d be banned from all social media for “hate,” but when Democrats do this they put in an applause line.
This is especially insane considering we’re still in the midst of the campaign.

John Belushi would not have approved of making fun of someone almost dying. How disgusting!!

You think 2 assassination attempts on an innocent man’s life are funny? You shouldn’t be on the air. Pretty damn evil.

Corey Comperatore died. David Dutch and James Copenhaver were wounded. Trump came within an inch of losing his life. You’ve played to your echo chamber for years, glad I left you when I saw the trend. Vile.

A man died, a daughter lost her father and a wife lost her husband. I havent watched you guys for over the past 10 years because you went downhill. I am glad I dont engage in this hateful rhetoric.

I remember when SNL was funny.

Saturday’s season opener marked the 50th year for SNL which like other late-night shows used to be funny but now serve primarily as forums for regime propaganda, Democrat talking points and the demonization of Trump and the tens of millions of Americans who support him.
John Belushi is rolling in his grave.
