“He has since, over the last – today, or was it yesterday – he apologized. But he caused some harm,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what color your skin is, how tall you are, what position you’re in – if you are promoting or soliciting, or saying harmful things to any community that harm people, then I don’t respect it. I don’t condone it.”
