SNL Millennial Mocks Wounded GOP Vet
< < Go Back
RUSH: Now let’s move on to the Saturday Night Live thing. … Pete Davidson is the cast member last night and Saturday … he looks like he’s wearing an orange jumpsuit, so I don’t know the premise of the clip. But he’s a cast member. He’s giving his thoughts about some of the candidates, and this is what he said about Republican congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw, who’s running in Texas…
DAVIDSON: No, hold on. Uhhh, you may be surprised to hear he’s a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie.
RUSH: Now, the whole set was laughing. Many in the audience were laughing over the fact that a military veteran lost an eye “in war or whatever.” This is from the party that preaches to us about civility and good manners. This is from the party that tells us Donald Trump should stop tweeting because he’s a reprobate. This is from the party that is forever preaching to us about values. And here you have a young kid who obviously has some issues laughing at a military veteran simply because he’s a Republican.
That makes it okay, in pop culture and American Media. He has an eye patch. That’s why he looks like a Bond villain. That’s why he looks like “a hit man in a porno movie.” This is not an accident. This was not rogue. That show is done live after two rehearsals. Bits that don’t work in the rehearsals are taken out. Lorne Michaels, who produces that show, okays and approves everything that happens in that show. Nobody goes rogue. It’s all scripted; it’s all written.
So they wanted this to happen. This is what has come to be modern-day, left-wing comedy. It is not funny. It’s hurtful and it is hateful.
Dan Crenshaw was asked to respond to this, and he’s done so in very many places.
