Following last week's violent attack at the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Tina Fey has a message for Americans tired of neo-Nazis: Eat a sheet cake.

During her special guest appearance on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update: Summer Edition last night, the famous SNL alumni and former Weekend Update co-host scarfed most of a vanilla-frosted sheet cake while railing against the rally and President Trump's controversial response to it, telling viewers to ignore neo-Nazi rallies and go buy a cake. Her comedic take on the chaotic and deadly events of last week comes amidst a flood of criticism towards U.S. President Donald Trump's "many sides" response to the attack that left one woman dead and 19 injured.

"You support maybe a Jewish-run bakery or an African-American-run bakery, order a cake with an American flag on it and then, um, just eat it."

"Sheet caking is a grass roots movement. Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election."

As #sheetcaking takes the Internet by storm, Fey's cake protest skit has been met with mixed feelings on social media.

On one side, people love any excuse to eat their feelings, and with Nazis walking down the streets screaming "Blood and soil" and "Jews will not replace us," it's an understandable response.





Meanwhile, others argue that standing up to Nazis is a long-standing American tradition. Rather than turning your attention to a delicious, moist cake, they say you should turn your attention to the armed masses of "chinless turds."



And in a classic display of the fast-paced internet outrage cycle, some are just outraged by the outrage. Twitter be Twitter.
