Is that supposed to marginalize him for his comment? Stick to the point; he is spot on accurate. The point being if your voice is one many follow then jump right in and get to it.
It is easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize someone who through timing and dedication created a powerhouse platform that brought conservatism into the main stream. It is altogether something else to be a curmudgeon and critic of ones life work because you disagree with their views. I am reminded of the two grumpy old man muppets who did nothing but bemoan and complain rather than take action and educate.
It is much harder to do the latter.
The question is; Why is he willing to burn it down?
