        When will we hold a commander in chief accountable more than we hold a comedian?

        I’d rather us decide to be like Crenshaw, he pretty much decided this can’t bother him, this is important, let it roll off.

        For the record, I'm a Never Trumper who thinks our current President is a crude POS with no filter. He's shown repeatedly through his inability to control what he says that he's unfit for office, whether it's mocking reporters, or a POW's.

        I also think Crenshaw's response has been perfect. He hasn't called for Davidson to be fired, or even apologize. He's simply suggesting that SNL's writers think twice before poking fun at any war wound.

        He literally defended the comedian against calls for him to be fired and yet it’s another “Republican Pounces” story🙄🙄

        Yeh, we'll keep that in mind the next time you find a comment to be racist/misogynist/homophobic..."Just don't listen". Somehow, that doesn't seem like it makes the offensive act ok.
