Yep. He went there. Saturday Night Live comic Pete Davidson, whose hero firefighter father died on 9/11 in New York City, used his personal story to take a swipe at Justin Bieber’s father during tonight’s televised roast of the pop star.
Watch:
@petedavidson goes HARD on @JustinBieber early. Brutal 9/11 hit. #Whipclip #roastofjustinbieberhttp://t.co/pNIWVpkyMW

Pete Davidson could make 9/11 jokes and absolutely kill it #roastofjustinbieber

Call me a prude or a loser, I just don't dig 9/11 jokes. @petedavidson, to each their own but… for a Bieber roast? meh.

The fact that Pete Davidson can laugh about losing his father in 9/11. That's a strong dude, wow.

The most fucked up part about this is that Pete Davidson's dad actually did die on 9/11
