Pete Davidson is in hot water for some comments he made on “Saturday Night Live” about Dan Crenshaw, a Texas Republican running for Congress who lost an eye while serving in the U.S. military.

On Saturday’s episode of the sketch series, Davidson appeared on the “Weekend Update” segment, the 24-year-old comedian gave his “first impressions” of some candidates ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections.

He giggled as an image of former Navy SEAL Crenshaw, who wears an eye-patch on his right eye after being injured by an I.E.D. in Afghanistan, flashed across the screen.

“You may be surprised to hear he’s a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie,” Davidson mocked. “I’m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war or whatever...”

Davidson’s father was a NYFD firefighter who was killed while climbing up into the World Trade Center on 9/11. He’s talked about how much it affected his life. You’d think he’d have a little more respect for people who put their lives on the line to protect others.

I agree with Sara.....I watched a replay....and, hearing the mind-numbed idiots (in audience) laugh, at this sick mocking, was even more gut wrenching than the horrible ‘joke’.

We see who the joke is actually on.
