Remember when George Bush I invited Dana Carvey to the White House Christmas Party (1991, I believe) to do his SNL George Bush character? He made fun of Bush barfing on the Japanese Prime Minister, made fun of him debating Ross Perot, etc...
These earlier Republicans were not so thin-skinned as our woke marxist leaders are now.
I doubt this story. I remember comedians declaring that they couldn’t make Obama jokes because there wasn’t anything funny about him.
