The remark, made in reference to Trump attending a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, was interpreted by many as alluding to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. With strong reactions online and debate over the limits of political satire, the moment has once again put 'SNL' at the center of controversy.
