Kasie Hunt defended Dan Crenshaw after SNL’s Pete Davidson made a horrible joke about the Navy Seal losing his eye while fighting in Afghanistan.
The left attacked her.
What is most galling is the attitude that it’s outrageous that a journalist is defending the right no matter what the reason, because it was their understanding that all journalists are leftwing.
Here’s the tweet-
I interviewed @DanCrenshawTX for a piece on vets running. I enjoyed our conversation — and as an American I am incredibly grateful for his service and his sacrifice. Our country is better off with more people like him in Congress, party aside.
Her “party aside” aside was not enough to satiate the crazies.

Holy hell, @kasie. If you did this on a local daily newspaper, you’d be reassigned to cover the zoo. You do such fine work but this is a pole vault over the line.
Yes, how dare she say that our country would be better off, party aside, if more people like this self-sacrificing man.
Jacob Alperin-Sheriff@DemocraticLuntzYou post something like this for Duckworth ever?
We’ll get “civility” when the (d)s are returned to power. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!! We’ll get civility from those people when we’re all dead or in “camps”.
Nasty, nasty people.
nuttin could be fina than to point and laff at a minority on election day
I wonder if Kasie is Mike’s sister…
No enemies to the left, no friends to the right.
If I’m wishcasting, this story can be Exhibit A for all of the BS pieces about how we need to “unify”.
Now get over here and gimme a hug you America hating knuckleheads.
Hillary is right about one thing….you can’t be civil to your enemies. They must be destroyed or this never ends.
I’m sorry, I’m still giggling over the fact that her name is K. Hunt.
Even if I were a leftist, I would be repulsed by the idea that I could never stray from the exact party line without being fired. To be a leftist means having no personal integrity. And being willing to lie constantly.
Her comment reminds me of “Starship Troopers” where only veterans were allowed to hold political office because only they could be trusted to put the interests of the nation ahead of their own.
Given that we are $20T in debt and no one in Congress will touch entitlement reform, we could use a lot of individuals who know how to put country ahead of self-interest.

But I’m not their enemy, a non a moose, even though they may think I am. They are my enemy, however, and even though I disagree with them vehemently, I will defend to the death their right to disagree. However, if they cross the line defined by our Constitutional law and attempt to injure, steal or otherwise harm me or my family, I shall blow their heads clean the f*ck off.
