We are also embarassed that Larry is an American because he’s a stupid man.
One of the most attention-grabbing comments of all came from “Seinfeld” co-creator Larry David, who remarked after a UFC event on the White House South Lawn that it made him “embarrassed” to be an American.
While his remark received some nods from others on the left, one contrarian Democrat was willing to call out David’s over-the-top reaction.
As Fox News reported:
“I’d say lighten up, Francis,” Fetterman said, quoting a famous line from the 1981 movie, “Stripes.”
The quote originates from a famous scene in which a character named Francis — played by Conrad Dunn — tells his fellow soldiers during Army basic training that he wants to be referred to as “Psycho,” instead of his given name.
The request prompts Sgt. Hulka — played by Warren Oates — to quip, “Lighten up, Francis.”
The callback to the Bill Murray-fronted film drew confusion from the TMZ reporter, who repeatedly asked Fetterman about the reference.
Fetterman went on to tell David to “get over himself,” as he slammed the comedian for expressing his embarrassment over the event.
“Hey, I’m proud to be an American, and if you are embarrassed or whatever because of a UFC thing, get over yourself, dude,” Fetterman added.
