The Deacon's Bench
The latest, from SNL:
Pete Davidson tackled the R. Kelly sex abuse scandal on “Saturday Night Live” and compared the R&B singer’s fans to Catholic church supporters.
Davidson appeared in the “Weekend Update” segment Saturday night and began his appearance by calling R. Kelly, who was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sex abuse, a “monster” and “should go to jail forever.” He then likened the R. Kelly allegations to the Catholic church child abuse scandal.
