Pete Davidson's appearance on watch Hollywood sex movies in HDSaturday Night Live's Weekend Update segment grabbed a lot of attention on Sunday with his comments about his real-life break-up with performer Ariana Grande.
That left a poor-taste joke poking fun at the physical appearance of candidates running for office initially overlooked. But as the clip spread, backlash started brewing about Davidson's move to mock a Republican congressional candidate who wears an eye patch.

He's a combat veteran.
In the segment, Davidson said Crenshaw looks like "a hit man in a porno movie." He immediately acknowledged the mean-spiritedness of the comment and said, "I'm sorry I know he lost his eye in war or whatever."
Weekend Update co-host Michael Che anticipated the outcry before Davidson even started the joke. After a photo of Crenshaw with an eye patch displayed on the screen, Che lamented, "Come on, man." But Davidson carried on.
After his Crenshaw impression, he moved on to a Democrat, "so I look fair." It wasn't all attacks on right-wing candidates, but still.
Crenshaw posted about the bad joke Sunday, noting "I hope [SNL] recognizes that vets don’t deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes."

A bevy of responses followed, assuring the candidate that joking about his war injuries was in poor taste. People from both the left and right acknowledged that going after physical appearances and former combat veterans was a low blow (even if it's not the worst rhetoric our country has seen in recent years).

Rep. Pete King from New York, who was also included in the segment, took to Twitter to call for Davidson's or someone at NBC's firing. An ironic request from a man who supports a president who has mocked a reporter's physical disability, insulted a Gold Star family, and disparaged John McCain's military service. Trump's still got hisjob.
None of which excuses Davidson's remarks on SNL. He may not be held to the same public standards as a politician (at least in the pre-Trump era), but that doesn't mean he can get away with spouting whatever mean-spirited garbage he wants.
Mashable has reached out to NBC for comment and we'll update this story once we hear back.
