Trump Campaign Condemns 'SNL' for Jokes About Assassination Attempts

'Saturday Night Live' faces backlash for skits referencing two recent assassination attempts on former President Trump.

'SNL' opened its 50th season with a skit in which James Austin Johnson portrayed Trump and referenced recent assassination attempts.
The Trump campaign's social media account criticized the skit as 'disgusting,' emphasizing the gravity of the assassination attempts.
In July, a gunman at a rally in Butler, Pa., grazed Trump's ear and killed a bystander, while another suspect was arrested in Florida in September.
During the 'Weekend Update' segment, Colin Jost made additional jokes about the assassination attempts, further angering Trump's team.
Trump attorney Alina Habba and the Trump War Room account both publicly condemned NBC and 'SNL' for their lack of 'decency.'
