Nikki Haley’s surprise cameo on “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend drew plenty of criticism for making light of her “slavery” Civil War gaffe. Among her critics is, apparently, “SNL” regular, Bowen Yang.

Yang shared a photo to Instagram of a note the show’s creator Lorne Michaels left for the politician, which read, “Amb. Haley, Welcome to Studio 8H, from Lorne + everyone at SNL.” In his one-word caption, Yang wrote, “Everyone. :),” The openly gay comedian and actor implied he was not part of those welcoming the politician, who said in 2022 that Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill “didn’t go far enough.”
