Pete Davidson rightfully apologized for insulting Congressman Crenshaw. Hope fellow GOP will do the same…

Look, "eye patch McCain" is certainly uncouth. But it's also funny, in the right frame.
This was not the right frame. But also remember, Crenshaw is a vet. I would be willing to be that once he was behind closed doors he got a chuckle out of that with his staffers and said he would have to remember that one.... And then he responded in kind.
No, I do not agree with creating or hurling the phrase at Crenshaw. I think it lacks class. But, seriously? This is what we are going to outrage over? I guarantee Crenshaw has gotten worse insults from better people. I know I did throughout my career. If mocking the eye patch is enough to rattle this dude, then we have MUCH bigger problems.

I'm driving down a country road after dark. The car in front of me rolls into the ditch and catches fire. I stop and pull your 16 yr old daughter to safety. She's taken to the hospital in a coma. You call me a hero. The local paper calls me a hero. Your wife bakes me her famous coconut pineapple sponge cake. Two weeks later, I visit your daughter in the hospital. She's still in a coma. I molest her. Am I still a hero?

SPC Les Darbison Nah. When I pecked that out, Biden's alleged actions weren't commonly known. My point was that "hero" is usually a point in time. But one can lose that status by later actions. i.e., many regard McCain as a hero for his actions in the Hanoi Hilton. His positions regarding his first wife and as a Senator are not so highly regarded and detract from his stature. Jury is still out, but Crenshaw seems to be trying out McCain's "maverick" cape. As the saying goes, it only takes one alpha sierra to wipe out a hundred bravo zulus.

It doesn't have to be true, but it can be if you believe perception is realty.
