The comedian said Republication congressional candidate Andrew Crenshaw, who lost an eye in Afghanistan, resembles «a hit man in a porno movie.»<\/b>
\nHOUSTON \u2014 A Texas Republican congressional candidate has chided \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d comic Pete Davidson for poking fun of the eyepatch he wears because he was badly wounded during his third tour in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL.
During a Weekend Update segment about midterm election candidates he considers \u201cgross,\u201d Davidson said Dan Crenshaw, whose photo was displayed, was \u201ckinda cool\u201d but that viewers might be \u201csurprised he\u2019s a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie.\u201d He added, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war or whatever.\u201d
Crenshaw, who is running against Democrat Todd Litton for an open suburban Houston district seat, replied in a tweet on Sunday, saying: \u201cGood 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\u2019t deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes.\u201d
Davidson, a no-holds-barred type who also has joked about his firefighter father\u2019s death in the 9\/11 Twin Towers collapse, also used the segment to mock the appearances of Rick Scott, Peter King, Andrew Cuomo, Greg Pence \u2014 and himself.
The segment took an abrupt turn at the end when Davidson got serious about his recent breakup with pop singer Ariana Grande, saying it\u2019s \u201cnobody\u2019s business\u201d and wishing Grande well.<\/p>\n
