Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson, whose firefighter dad died in 9/11, called out comedian Steve Rannazzisi on Wednesday on Twitter for repeatedly telling a phony story about escaping the terror attack.

Davidson, who honored his father on social media during the anniversary of 9/11 this year, tweeted his thoughts to Rannazzisi after The New York Times revealed that his fellow comedian had been lying.

Rannazzisi replied, thanking him, but later deleted the tweet. Davidson retweeted it, and said he was missing the point.

Davidson then turned to a serious note.
