they do? show me other comedians who show pictures of wounded vets, and then make fun of the injuries they received in combat? i haven’t heard of this.

and if he’s that cruel and deranged, in addition to not being funny, why does NBC employ him?

also this week, an MSNBC crew set up at a polling station, and all their gear was set up
in a handicapped parking spot. a wounded vet could not park, asked them to move, and they said no because they were ready to broadcast.

bad optics.

worse than bad optics - rude.

He was making fun of a wounded vet. Kinda pathetic actually.

As a country, we tend to put vets on a pedestal and do too much hero worship, they are not all heroes - though heroes walk among them. But they are pretty solid people when compared to the general populace. But it was stupid.

Crenshaw had the last laugh though when he said he doesn't mind the joke - he just wish it was actually funny.

Snowflakes are because each one is unique and they are all special, particularly in mom's basement.
