1 is the Pres. of the US and the other is a comedian who may have mental issues (which there has been news reports for some time prior to this about). I didn't know his father died in 9 11.
It is not something you or I would say but that is what comedians do. Some jokes are funny, some fall flat, some insult, some they wish they prob. didn't say. |

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.

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.

Let's face it...SNL hasn't been funny in quite some time.
Because of that they tend to pull the "off-colored humor" card out of their comedy vault and try to stir up viewership by insulting them.
Remember the adage "You can say good things or you can say bad things about me, but just keep talking about me"?
They don't really care about the integrity level or the intelligence level of their material, as long as it "stirs the pot" and makes people comment.
I'm not thin-skinned, and can take a joke like anyone else, but there has to be a line where they cross over to bad taste and this is one of those times.

It clearly is one of those times, but to link that to a shadow liberal agenda to discredit his candidacy or devalue veterans is a similarly bad taste line to draw
