Megyn Kelly has gone scorched earth on Tom Hanks, ripping the two-time Oscar winner as an ‘effing snob’ over a politically charged SNL50 “Black Jeopardy!” skit, in which he portrayed a MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter.
The former Fox News personality, 54, spouted off the blistering rant while speaking to Sky News Australia, likening the 68-year-old Forrest Gump star to an “abuser” who turned on the very people who made him successful.
“In thanks to a nation of audiences that included those guys who look like that, with a T-shirt, without the sleeves that are maybe a little rough around the edges who aren’t as coiffed as he is with the perfect three-quarter zip sweater with their MAGA hat on, and yeah Tom Hanks, their southern rural accent — you absolute effing snob — went to your movies and made you a billionaire and your thanks to them is to mock and belittle them in the two minutes you had to portray what they might be like. Shame on you.”
“They decided to take one of the most beloved, most popular American actors ever, Tom Hanks, and put him in a Trump MAGA hat and put him down at the end of what they called ‘Black Jeopardy!'”
She also trashed NBC for airing the skit.
“Saturday Night Live hates conservatives. NBC hates conservatives. They’ve been doing programming that has been anti-Trump, anti-conservatives, pro-leftist causes in the open for 12 years now.”
The star-studded SNL50 event, featuring current and former cast members and a bevy of Hollywood A-listers, strayed largely from any political themes until the “Black Jeopardy!” skit featuring Hanks alongside Kenan Thompson and former SNLers Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones, and Chris Rock.
