iSmartNetwork Magazine The online magazine for you…
In the wake of U.S. House candidate Dan Crenshaw( R-Texas) being mocked by Saturday Night Live for a conflict hurt, NBC News reporter Kasie Hunt discussed her interview with Crenshaw about ex-servicemen moving for office and expressed her appreciation for his service.
I interviewed @DanCrenshawTX for a piece on veterinarians running. I enjoyed our discussion — and as an American I am unbelievably grateful for his service and his sacrifice. Our country is better off with more people like him in Congress, party aside.

She then expended quite a few tweets responding to indignant leftists accusing her of politically endorsing Crenshaw.
I’m not endorsing potential candidates. I AM saying thanks for provide and saying I see more ex-servicemen in Congress is good for our home countries. If you disagree, we can agree to disagree.

They apparently missed the” party aside” parcel of her tweet.
The piece highlighting Crenshaw also included Democrat Amy McGrath. I had another piece merely this morning on Sunday TODAY about wives veterinarians extending — in both parties.

I is felt that. I’m not exhorting voters to pick him over his opponent. I am saying he should not be mocked for his services and that I personally be recognised that he sacrificed for all of us.

I’m a big devotee of yours. I’m not endorsing presidential candidates and it’s not over the line to thank a veteran for their service when their trauma is being teased. I’ve also interviewed Democratic veteran nominees and would say the same about them. Party aside.

Tammy Duckworth “ve been given” so much better for our country and I am grateful to her for it

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying we should value service from our ex-servicemen and appreciate what that suffer can bring to the table , not tease them when they come home hurt.

Thanks for taking the time to investigate further. My comments are not at all related to his policies or, as noted in this yarn, an endorsement of his candidacy.
— Kasie Hunt (@ kasie) November 4, 2018
Hey Tom. This wasn’t an endorsement. Read the whole yarn. I’m saying he should not be mocked for his service.
— Kasie Hunt (@ kasie) November 4, 2018
I said absolutely nothing about his politics and I did not say anyone should vote for him over his adversary. I would say the same for any Democratic vet in a similar circumstance.
— Kasie Hunt (@ kasie) November 4, 2018
I’ve acknowledged that it could be misread without the broader context. But I was specifically referring to his services and sacrifice when I said people “like him”. I’m patently not going to change your mind and I’m sorry to have let you down. That’s my thinking.
— Kasie Hunt (@ kasie) November 4, 2018
I just don’t interpret defending a veteran who is taunted for their wraps as a venial sin. We are going to have to disagree on this.
— Kasie Hunt (@ kasie) November 4, 2018
It isn’t. Whether a Republican or a Democrat, it is appropriate to never be considered inappropriate to thank a ex-serviceman for his or her service.
