These Four Words Pete Davidson Whispered to Dan Crenshaw on ‘SNL’ Give Me HopeI
By Tré Goins-Phillips

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson may have made a star out of incoming Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), but it was what the comedian whispered to the now-famous Navy veteran after their joint “SNL” segment that really gave me hope for the future of our political discourse.

After about five minutes of jokes, where Crenshaw landed a few light-hearted jabs at Davidson, the segment wrapped. But the microphones were still on.

Davidson leaned over to Crenshaw and whispered, “You’re a good man.”

The reality is, had Crenshaw not behaved the way he did following Davidson’s poorly executed joke at the veteran’s expense, Saturday night’s segment, when the two men came together to celebrate America’s war heroes, probably wouldn’t have ever happened.

On NBC's Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson mocks GOP Congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw for losing his eye in war: “You may be surprised to hear he’s a Congressional candidate from Texas and not a hitman in a porno movie. I’m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever.”

Even as Ronna McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican Party, was calling on “SNL” to apologize for Davidson’s bad joke, Crenshaw made it clear he didn’t want an apology. Instead, he gracefully critiqued the quip while also encouraging his own fellow conservatives to avoid the temptation to be “outwardly outraged,” arguing apologies just aren’t necessary every time someone is offended.

As a result of his graceful response, Crenshaw was invited on “SNL,” where forgiveness stole the show.
That’s what gives me hope.

When we — like Crenshaw and Davidson — are able to see our common humanity and celebrate our shared experiences, good things can happen. It takes humility, and both men embraced it over the weekend.
