Tina Fey urges Americans: Stay home from neo-Nazi rallies. Eat a sheet cake instead. [View all]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/08/18/tina-fey-urges-americans-stay-home-from-neo-nazi-rallies-eat-a-sheet-cake-instead/?hpid=hp_hp-morning-mix_mm-tinafey%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.03d3c38c45a9
Tina Fey is fuming about last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, home to her alma mater, the University of Virginia.
In response, the former “Saturday Night Live” comedian and writer is spearheading a movement: “sheetcaking.”
In a surprise appearance on SNL’s “Weekend Update: Summer Edition” Thursday night, Fey urged Americans not to get into screaming matches with neo-Nazis. Instead, she said, “order a cake with the American flag on it … and just eat it.”
She proceeded to stuff her face with sheet cake as she bashed white supremacists, President Trump, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and conservative pundit Ann Coulter (“yard-sale Barbie”).
With her mouth full of frosting, she seemed to capture the frustration of many Americans in the past week. Almost immediately, the hashtags “#sheetcakemovement” and “#sheetcaking” began circulating on social media.
