SNL keeps digging down deeper in the hole of scumbaggery they’ve happily created – this time it’s perennial scumbag Pete Davidson mocking a war veteran for his wound just because he’s a GOP candidate.
What a pathetic loser:
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.

You can tell that he knows he’s doing something controversial because he even admits to it. But this isn’t “edgy” controversial, it’s just scummy.
And it shows how lazy and stupid the “comedy” is at SNL. How long did it take Pete Scummerson to come up with that joke? About 3 seconds? And it basically comes down to “I hate Republicans” – the basis of 99% of the political jokes on SNL. That’s not humor, it’s just begging for partisan applause.
Tapper had a decent response to it:
There’s a video going viral of a comedian making light of a veteran’s war wound. (The veteran is also a GOP congressional candidate.) Channel any outrage by supporting @HomesForOurTrps which helps build homes for wounded veterans. https://t.co/l5hPBb7zhz

BUT.. some are wondering why he didn’t mention the name of either? Either way – everyone should excoriate Davidson and SNL for this pathetic excuse for humor.
Here’s the rest of the SNL sketch for context:
