“Saturday Night Live” comedian Pete Davidson mocked “The League” star Steve Rannazzisi, who admitted to lying about being in the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks.
Davidson’s father was a firefighter who died trying to rescue people during the 2001 attacks.
Davidson fired off the the following tweet Wednesday:
It’s ok @SteveRannazzisi people make mistakes … Can’t wait to meet my dad for lunch later

Rannazzisi apparently didn’t understand Davidson’s reference to the fact his father died on 9/11, and responded with a now deleted tweet.

Davidson then hit back with a couple more tweets.
I think you missed the point … https://t.co/Fk9imfD6ut

All kidding aside this @SteveRannazzisi story sucks because he’s actually a funny comic and I love The League. It’s fucked up

Davidson later revealed that Rannazzisi had reached out to him to apologize.
Take it easy on @SteveRannazzisi … He reached out to me and is truly sorry. We all sometimes lie and exaggerate a story to seem cooler …
