    They asked him a question and he answered. If you’re going to be mad at him for saying that then you should be mad at the people who asked the question.

      He pulled the “no comment” card tho.

      If he won’t talk about why they’re booing, he shouldn’t talk about the booing

      But again, he shouldn’t be enabling a child rapist in the first place.
