Remember when comedian and Saturday Night Live Star Pete Davidson mocked the eye-patch of former Navy Seal Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who lost his eye to a bomb in Afghanistan? Remember when Davidson subsequently apologized for the remark?
Guess what. Now he’s stating that he “kind of got forced to apologize.”
