Weekend Update host Michael Che has come under fire for a joke that is being criticized as transphobic in the latest episode of Saturday Night Live.
During the segment, host Michael Che said, President Biden signed an executive order repealing Trump s ban on transgender people from serving in the military. It s good news, except Biden is calling the policy, Don t ask, don t tuck.

The remark referred to the military s don t ask, don t tell policy, which prohibited military personnel from discriminating against or harassing closeted homosexual or bisexual service members or applicants, while barring openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service. It was repealed during the Obama administration in 2011, meaning that gay, lebsian and bisexual individuals could openly serve in the military.
