SNL host John Mulaney blasted for joking it would be ‘interesting’ if senators stabbed President Trump after comparing him to Julius Caesar

Comedian John Mulaney was blasted this weekend after comparing President Donald Trump to Julius Caesar and joking that an assassination would be 'interesting' to bring back.

Mulaney, 37, shared the remark during his opening monologue on Saturday Night Live's latest episode.

The SNL alum began by noting that the show fell on a Leap Year, which was created by Julius Caesar, and that the Roman military man ultimately met his demise when stabbed during a Senate session on March 15, 44 BC.

'[Caesar] started the Leap Year in order to correct the calendar and we still do it to this day,' Mulaney said.
