Andrew Yang ‘forgives’ new ‘SNL’ comic Shane Gillis for ‘Jew ch–k’ slur

Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang took the high road on Saturday in response to being called a “Jew ch–k” by new “Saturday Night Live” cast member Shane Gillis — saying he doesn’t think the controversial comic should be fired.

“For the record, I do not think he should lose his job,” Yang tweeted.

“We would benefit from being more forgiving rather than punitive. We are all human,” he wrote.

Vice News reported on Friday that Gillis made the slur about Yang while discussing 2020 Democratic candidates on an episode of the “Real Ass Podcast” in May.

The news came as Gillis has already been under fire for other racial slurs targeting Asians.
