Mike Huckabee started it. Billy Baldwin escalated it.

Former Arkansas governor Huckabee tried promoting his own television show by referencing Alec Baldwin’s statement that he is “so done” playing President Donald Trump on SNL. Huckabee tweeted “Good news for viewers who are “so done” with “SNL” & unfunny vicious Trump bashing instead of comedy.”

Alec Baldwin announced that he's “so done” playing @realDonaldTrump on “Saturday Night Live”. Good news for viewers who are “so done” with “SNL” & unfunny vicious Trump bashing instead of comedy. For refreshing variety, try my show instead tonight! https://t.co/MTf4xbnNsG

He continued with, “For refreshing variety, try my show instead tonight!”

Huckabee has a slot on the televagelist channel Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Alec’s brother, Billy, made it personal by attacking Huckabee’s family and his faith.

Only two things funnier than my brothers impersonation of Trump.

Your daughters impersonation of being an honest, decent human being and you’re impersonation of being a Christian. https://t.co/gLfFXsThYJ

Huckabee’s daughter is White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Alec Baldwin has been portraying Trump on the late-night comedy series since 2016.
