Maybe I’m easily confused but that looks to me more like 2 — a rejection of the council itself.

1. openly espouse the view you describe
2. probably espouse it but dances around it in public writings

#2? Really? You think he's dancing around the elephant in the room?

He's come right out and has called the council a "fraud". Looks like #1 to me. What more do you need?
