Speaking on Fox & Friends, Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) reacted to Saturday Night Live Comedian Pete Davidson appearing to retract his apology to Crenshaw on a Netflix special after he had made remarks in the past that were interpreted as an insult. Crenshaw said, “Listen, I can’t get out of Pete Davidson’s head. He’s been — he’s been thinking about me a lot for the past year as he builds this comedy routine apparently. I’m not so sure his jokes always land but it is what it is.” He added, “ … if we took everything that comedians said on a Netflix special seriously, man our country would be in a world of hurt.”
The Daily Beast reported that in his new Netflix stand-up special showing his “Alive from New York” routine, Davidson preached, “I didn’t think I did anything wrong. It was like words that were twisted so that a guy could be famous.” He added, “So I made fun of this guy with an eyepatch and then, like, I kind of got forced to apologize.” He referenced his mother, whom he calls on stage his “roommate,” getting death threats, adding, “My roommate thought I should apologize so that I didn’t get shot in the face.”
