During dress rehearsal, Strong decided\u2064 not to play\u200c Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY)\u2062 as originally planned.<\/p>\n<h3>New Cast Member Takes Over<\/h3>\n<p>In\u200c Strong&#8217;s absence, \u2063new cast member \u2064Chloe Troast stepped\u2064 in to portray Stefanik in the sketch. The \u2064parody\u2064 was based on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whats-next-great-awakening-or-great-reset\/\" title=\"What\u2019s Next? Great Awakening or Great Reset?\">recent congressional hearing<\/a> where Stefanik questioned the presidents of prestigious universities about their response to antisemitic speech \u200bon campus.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounds the Sketch<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the \u2064serious nature\u200c of the \u200chearing, SNL chose to focus \u200don mocking Stefanik rather than addressing the issue of antisemitism. The sketch received \u2063backlash \u200dfrom\u2064 social media and various \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/french-news-service-sues-elon-musks-x-over-failing-to-compensate-news-outlets\/\" title=\"French news service sues Elon Musk's X for not paying news outlets.\">news \u2063outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong Replaced by Troast<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I am here today because hate speech has no place on college campuses,&#8221; Troast&#8217;s Stefanik declared in the sketch. &#8220;Hate speech belongs in Congress, on Elon Musk&#8217;s Twitter, in private \u2064dinners \u200dwith my donors, and in public speeches by my work husband, Donald Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Public Outcry<\/h3>\n<p>The skit was heavily criticized, with Barstool Sports calling it &#8220;one \u2062of the worst cold\u2063 openings in the show&#8217;s history.&#8221; \u200cMeghan McCain described it as &#8220;vile,&#8221; pointing out the rise in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jewish-democrats-criticize-conservatives-and-progressives-for-reckless-antisemitism-in-letter-to-biden\/\" title=\"Jewish Democrats Criticize Conservatives And Progressives For \u2018Reckless\u2019 Antisemitism In Letter To Biden\">antisemitic hate crimes<\/a>. Fox News host\u200c Jeanine Pirro criticized SNL for choosing to mock Stefanik instead\u2062 of condemning antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the controversial skit sparked a heated debate about the boundaries of comedy and the responsibility of satire in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sean-reyes-reacts-to-allegations-against-tim-ballard-by-avoiding-endorsement\/\" title=\"Sean Reyes responds to allegations against Tim Ballard without endorsing him.\">addressing sensitive issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read\u2062 more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How do you use \u200ca pre-designed template from the Google Docs template gallery<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064 There are different \u200cways to create templates in Google Docs, \u2062some of which include:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u200b Open a blank document in Google Docs.<\/p>\n<p>2.
