Conservatives on Sunday melted down after “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson made fun of a veteran who lost his eye during a combat tour in Afghanistan.
During a bit on Republicans running for Congress, Davidson joked that Dan Crenshaw looks like he belongs in a porno.
"This guy is kind of cool, Dan Crenshaw," Davidson said. "You may be surprised to hear he's a congressional candidate for Texas and not a hit-man in a porno movie.”
"I'm sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever," he added.
Davidson later admitted he can't make fun of other people because he looks like he "makes vape juice in a bathtub."
Republicans where quick to jump on the outrage bandwagon, blaming SNL and NBC for allowing Davidson to joke about a war veteran.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released a statement on Sunday demanding an apology from Davidson.
“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. 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,” NRCC Spokesman Jack Pandol said.
Read some of the criticism below:
Pete Davidson making fun of a one-eyed war hero is only marginally worse than Kate McKinnon singing “Hallelujah” after Hillary lost. The McKinnon thing is actually probably worse, since there was no universe in which it’d be funny, and the Davidson thing is at least a joke.

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://t.co/egVKx12Au5

Hey Pete Davidson, Dan Crenshaw lost his right eye in 2012 when he was hit by an IED blast in Afghanistan, on his third deployment.

You have butthole eyes. Maybe you shouldn’t disrespect a war hero just because you have different political beliefs.pic.twitter.com/ddKHPZmehD
NBC: the same network that gave us predator Matt Lauer & serial liar Brian Williams had comedian Pete Davidson mocking disabled military war hero Dan Crenshaw on SNL last night. https://t.co/2PUnjmz0Mn

By Monday around 11:15 AM the narrative will start to change to how Davidson is a victim of the angry right and how artists shouldn’t bend to pressure from the unsophisticated mob. https://t.co/X87ULnIJ7I

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.
