I’m not sure to be honest in this precise case....he was applauded at first and defended by the group leader
But if he walked into a major mosque in say New York or Beverly Hills or Dearborn...or better yet London or Riyadh or the Dome of the Rock or more importantly Obamas face on national TV
And told them they followed Satan and were a religion of hatred and violence and the subjugation of women
Then I’d be as excited as you guys are....that would be courageous
Telling a bunch of Arab Christians ...some of whom have territory issues with Israel going back 60 years they are bigots is easy
They are not a protected class
Nobody’s perfect I guess
Ted didn’t go there to attack... this guy has a 200% full plate and a million other places to be.
He went there understanding the invitation, then got a sense of maybe 1/3 of the crowd that jumped him over his support of Israel, he tested them out with another statement to confirm his suspicion of a tainted audience. Once they confirmed that, he ‘turned the other cheek’ and left.
He avoided the trap that was set for him. And went on Megyn Kelly to re-state why he did what he did. And she saluted him.
Ah, moving goal posts.
