Ugh. God damn. 🤢
Somehow I'm not surprised. He seems pretty eccentric. In a socially awkward way that makes you uncomfortable.
He seems to have no filter whatsoever. His comments are inexcusable but he seemed to set himself up to broadcast every single thought that ever goes through his head to the entire world. I suspect there would be some clangers in there if I - or anyone else - spewed all of their halfbaked thoughts out all the time like that.
Personally I'm never going to meet the guy and my opinion of him doesn't particularly matter. That provides an opportunity to pick out the bits of his thoughts that I find interesting and leave out the bits that are crass. Appreciate not everyone has that luxury though, especially if they have been personally affected by one of the issues he's crashed into like a bull in a china shop.
