[Reality-TV-Fanatics] Pete Davidson’s ‘SNL’ Joke About Wounded Vet Running For House Seat Draws Fire

 

SNL an NBC comedy show . Why do people still watch that awful show. Yes it is about trashing political people OK but to take one that has lost an eye while serving our country that is just beyond decent

 This was just plain nasty.. Ok its comedy and I remember Don Rickels (sp)But this has just got to stop/ Attacking a Vet seems beyond decency.

I have watched the replys on Fox  and I didn't see one thing funny about it other then looking at that ridiculous person being a jerk and the people that thought it was so funny? I hope none of those that laughed had a family member or friend that was ever in the service. .Has SNL,NBC, Davidson attempted to apologize for being so ignorant?  Last I heard none of them have. I am wondering if there will be some contacting the advertisers to stop advertising or they will stop using their product.

Pete Davidson's 'SNL' Joke About Wounded Vet Running For House Seat Draws Fire

Condemnations are rolling in for Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson's mocking a GOP House of Representatives candidate and war veteran's eye patch.

The National Republican Congressional Committee is demanding an apology from NBC and Davidson for mocking Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw's disability during a sketch last night. The Weekend Update diatribe by Davidson attacked various politicians and their alleged appearances.

Davidson, who compared politicans to a penis and a cigar, then joked about the former Navy SEAL for wearing an eye patch. Crenshaw lost his eye during combat.

Crenshaw tweeted a reaction. "I hope @nbcsnl recognized that vets don't deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes."

NRCC spokesperson Jack Pandol also criticized Davidson, and referred to the comedian's closing comments, wherein he briefly explained his recent split with fiance and pop superstar Ariana Grande.

"Getting dumped by your pop star girlfriend is no excuse for lashing out at a decorated war hero who lost his eye serving our country," said Pandol's statement. "Pete Davidson and NBC should immediately apologize to Dan, and to the millions of veterans and military families who tune in every weekend – because they're not laughing."

Good rule in life: I try hard not to offend; I try harder not to be offended. That being said, I hope @nbcsnl recognizes that vets don't deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes.

Since the Vietnam War, liberals have been known for their great disdain for America's service members, despite their efforts to hide it. During NBC's latest edition Saturday Night Live, that disdain

This gutless little coward was hiding behind his mommy while Dan Crenshaw was earning two Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart & the Navy Commendation Medal with Valor. Pete Davidson is your typical ungrateful millennial snowflake puke. @nbcsnl is a complete disgrace. #NavySEAL #MAGA

The Reagan Battalion ✔ @ReaganBattalion Dan Crenshaw was nearly blinded in 2012 when he was hit by an IED blast in Afghanistan's Helmand province, where he was on his third deployment. He lost his right eye in the blast, and his left eye was badly damaged.Shame on you, @nbcsnl, this is disgusting!

Remember when political comedy was funny and people like Pete Davidson and Saturday Night Live didn't have to resort to making fun of someone who lost their eye literally fighting terrorists? https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2018/11/04/pete-davidson-mocks-dan-crenshaw-who-lost-his-eye-in-afghanistan/ …
