Former-SNL star 'felt uncomfortable' about anti-Semitism hearings skit
Daily MailFormer SNL star Cecily Strong backed out of an offensive skit about the congressional hearings on anti-Semitism on campus, according to a new report. Domenech's wife Meghan McCain also addressed the skit writing: 'There is a 400% increase in antisemitic hate crimes since October 7th and SNL thinks it's hilarious…. iHeart Radio host Mark Simone wrote on X following the sketch: 'Only a hate-filled, anti-Semitic SNL could do a sketch about the anti-Semitic college presidents testifying in front of Congress and make the questioner Congresswoman Stefanik the target of the sketch.' The chairman of the Ivy League school’s board of trustees, Scott Bok, also resigned immediately during a trustees meeting Saturday evening, just hours after Bok announced Liz Magill’s departure as president in just her second year. In a statement Saturday, Stefanik said Magill’s 'forced resignation' is the 'bare minimum of what is required' and said Harvard and MIT should follow suit.
