I’m not defending the guy. I’m defending the expression. That’s the problem.

He was not obligated to answer in a particular way or agree to a certain narrative. He could have responded with Mickey Mouse, or whatever. Or he could have ignored the question. It didnt matter. He has a right to have his own view and answer it in his own way.

At least you do understand that he shouldn’t have been fired for it, but you’re entitled to your own opinion, too . So it’s cool.
