Comedian Dave Chappelle was recently interviewed on a podcast and talked about election night 2016. He was the host of Saturday Night Live that week, and he claims that when Trump was announced the winner, people cried in the SNL writers’ room.
This is very interesting because it confirms what has been obvious for years, that the folks at SNL actively hate President Trump.
Their constant mockery of him is not done in fun, humor, or good faith. It is used as a political weapon because they don’t like him. That’s also why it’s usually not very funny.

Dave Chappelle Reminds Us of the Mass Triggering That Happened When Trump Won His First Term
Many Republicans remember fondly the days when President Donald Trump won his first presidential election and the leftist hysteria that followed. There are memes that are still circulating from that time period, showing how horribly Democrats melted down after being shocked by his victory over Hillary Clinton.
Comedian Dave Chappelle, who was not at all surprised by Trump’s win, recently reminisced about his appearance on “Saturday Night Live” and seeing the reactions from the show’s staff. During a conversation with Variety’s Mo Amer, Chappelle said, “Man, when they called Donald Trump to win, that sh*t shut the writer’s room down. You should have seen them in there.”
The comedian further stated that members of the cast were “crying like Black peoplee” and that “they couldn’t believe that this was happening.”

Saturday Night Live didn’t even really make fun of Joe Biden until the end. Once they knew he was no longer useful to the left, they started mocking him. That’s how the left rolls.
