Texas Republican candidate for Congress Dan Crenshaw isn't mad at Saturday Night Live's unfunny skit mocking his eye patch — he lost his right eye to an IED while serving in Afghanistan — but he does expect more from SNL.

On Monday, the former Navy SEAL Crenshaw was interviewed on "Fox & Friends" to respond to an offensive joke by SNL cast member Pete Davidson. During SNL's "Weekend Update" skit, Davidson made fun of Crenshaw as part of a routine riffing on congressional candidates.

"You may be surprised to hear he’s a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie," he said. "I'm sorry; I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever."

The joke inspired outrage from conservatives demanding that NBC and SNL issue an apology for insulting a veteran. Crenshaw thinks that the joke was unfunny, but he's not demanding an apology.

"What passes for humor these days is not what used to pass for humor, and I think that's the big tragedy in all this, right? Like, why can't we just be funny again?" Crenshaw asked. "What happened to our comedy in this country? Why can't we give the American people a break and separate comedy from politics?"

"This one was pretty inappropriate," he added.

"They probably should apologize, but that doesn't mean I'm going to demand an apology," he said. "I don't want to demand an apology that is hollow and empty."

"They certainly crossed the line, but their apology won't mean anything to me. I think what they should do is maybe pool their money together and donate to some veterans' charities out there that could really use some help."

What do the Democrats do when they can't get what they want? They run to the courts.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., will seek an injunction in federal court to stop the United States Senate from voting to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Politico reports. Merkley claims that his constitutional duty to advise and consent on nominees is being obstructed by Republican efforts to have Kavanaugh confirmed.

“The events of the past ten days have only underscored how critical it is that the Senate conduct a careful and comprehensive review of a nominee before giving its consent,” Merkley said.

“The unprecedented obstruction of the Senate’s advice and consent obligation is an assault on the separation of powers and a violation of the Constitution. The President and Mitch McConnell want to ram through this nomination come hell or high water, without real advice or informed consent by the Senate, but that’s just not how our Constitution works.”

The gist of Merkley's complaint is that because Republicans won't wait for an FBI investigation into sexual misconduct claims against Kavanaugh, he can't come to a decision on how to vote and this somehow obstructs his constitutional responsibilities.

It's a ridiculous argument that will be thrown out of court, but it shows you how far some Democrats will go to prepare for their 2020 campaigns for president.
