\nSaturday Night Live (SNL) cast member Pete Davidson recently mocked a Republican Congressman-elect for sporting an eye patch after a war injury. He\u2019s now apologizing, and Dan Crenshaw got to roast him in return.
Davidson appeared on SNL\u2019s \u201cWeekend Update\u201d on Saturday night after receiving backlash for mocking the former Navy SEAL Crenshaw the previous week.
War hero Lt. Com Dan Crenshaw was overseas in Afghanistan during his third deployment in 2012 when he was hit by an IED blast \u2014taking his right eye and severely damaging his left eye.
As Crenshaw made headlines running for Congress in Texas\u2019 2nd District \u2014 a race he has since won with 52.9 percent of the vote \u2014 SNL\u2019s Davidson took aim at the Congressman-elect\u2019s appearance:
\u201cDan Crenshaw, no hold on. You may be surprised to hear he\u2019s a Congressional candidate from Texas and not a hitman in a porno movie. I\u2019m sorry. I know he lost his eye in war or whatever.\u201d
Totally cheap, disgusting and classless of SNL to have Pete Davidson mock Dan Crenshaw for wearing an eye patch\u2026then giggle that he was injured in the line of duty. @DanCrenshawTX is a Navy SEAL and hero who lost his eye in an IED attack in Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com\/7VbMohQ3t2

Now, Davidson\u2019s heart grew for the former Navy SEAL veteran \u2014 after he received a lot of backlash over his comment \u2014 and he apologized for his \u201cpoor choice of words\u201d:
\u201cThe man is a war hero, and he deserves all of the respect in the world. And if any good came of this, maybe it was that for one day the left and the right finally came together to agree on something \u2014 that I\u2019m a d**k.\u201d
\u201cYou think?\u201d Crenshaw slid his way onto the set and accepted Davidson\u2019s apology \u2014 then he went on to mock Davidson in return.
Crenshaw hysterically let his cell phone ring to a song by Davidson\u2019s former fianc\u00e9 Ariana Grande.
The war hero then shared that all Americans, on either side of the political spectrum, can forgive one another.
\u201cWe can remember what brings us together as a country and still see the good in each other,\u201d Crenshaw said.
He then shared an encouragement for Americans on Veteran\u2019s Day, telling people to not only thank another veteran for their service but to also tell a veteran \u201cnever forget\u201d to show that \u201cyou are in it with them \u2026 connected together as grateful, fellow Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
