The ‘joke’, Mel Gibson pretends he’s got Tourette’s to get away with racism, only works if you think John Davidson was also pretending. https://t.co/w9gUp2F9Yd

A lot of the people in this skit probably denounced or hated when Trump mocked a disabled journalist but they are acting in the same cruel way he did. https://t.co/lDeMNmLij3

It has shocked me how even US ‘liberals’ hold really backward ideas about disability. It has explained a great deal. Deeply ignorant people imagining themselves peerlessly ‘progressive’ yet totally uninterested in increasing understanding. No wonder their country is so divided. https://t.co/9hVzsx5Sd6

As a Tourettes sufferer I find this staggeringly offensive – in fact it was extremely difficult watching the whole video.
You mock an entire section of the disabled community just for cheap entertainment? You want us to be the butt of your jokes because we are different?…

SNL getting a community note explaining they’re not funny is the most 2026 thing to date. https://t.co/mK8fEUvhdW
