On Saturday Night Live last week, Pete Davidson mocked Dan Crenshaw, a GOP congressional candidate who had lost an eye during combat in Afghanistan. It was an ugly joke. A week later, though, he apologized to Crenshaw on air, and the segment turned out to be remarkably moving and patriotic. Crenshaw -- now a representative-elect from Texas -- not only accepted the apology with grace and wit, he mentioned Davidson's father, a New York firefighter who gave his life on 9/11.
It is a perfect clip to watch on Veterans Day.
