<p>The Trump campaign condemned <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/saturday-night-live" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221;</a> for joking about the two assassination attempts on former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> this year.</p>
<p>NBC&#8217;s sketch comedy show began its 50th season with a cold open that focused on the 2024 presidential election. Cast member James Austin Johnson, returning as Trump, portrayed the GOP presidential nominee at one of his campaign rallies.</p>
<p>&#8220;We love my rallies, except when someone does a bing bong bing bing bing, right at me,&#8221; Johnson&#8217;s Trump said as he used his hands to mimic the shooting of guns. &#8220;You know, that happened because of the rhetoric of the radical Left.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They say that me blaming the Democrats for inciting violence is the pot calling the kettle black. But frankly, I didn’t know the kettle was black until very recently. I thought the kettle was Indian, but then it decided to turn black,&#8221; he added, a nod to comments Trump made about Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; racial identity.</p>
<p>The Trump War Room, an account on X affiliated with Trump&#8217;s campaign, posted a clip of the scene from &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; to the social media platform.</p>
<p>&#8220;There were two assassination attempts against President Trump within a span of seven weeks,&#8221; the account <a href="https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1840238638723985591" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;[&#8216;Saturday Night Live&#8217;] apparently finds that funny. Disgusting.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump attorney and adviser Alina Habba also reacted to the sketch, <a href="https://x.com/AlinaHabba/status/1840366933792711047" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> on X, &#8220;Have we lost all boundaries of decency in the media? Shame on NBC.&#8221;</p>

<p>The cold open also featured former &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221; cast member Maya Rudolph as Harris, Jim Gaffigan as Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Bowen Yang as GOP vice presidential nominee and Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Andy Samberg as Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and Dana Carvey as President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Later in the show, during the &#8220;Weekend Update&#8221; segment, Colin Jost also made light of Trump surviving a pair of assassination attempts.</p>
<p>After presenting a clip of Trump joking at a rally about showing off his <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/1840132911993106831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;beautiful&#8221; body</a> at the beach, Jost <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2tOpMV6T0I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> in reference to the Pennsylvania shooting: &#8220;I’m starting to worry that bullet got a little more than just the ear.&#8221;</p>
