“I enjoyed it, I think he’s interesting. I like the fact that he has an opinion

“What I try to do, when you hear that, is I try to look at and think do I agree? Is there something malicious, is there something that is treating other people the wrong way when you do it? It never crossed my mind that it was disrespectful in any way. Now that I’ve thought it through I just disagree with him. I don’t think it has anything to do with anybody else but us.

“The fact he brought some attention to us and probably made it better for us, I appreciate what he did.”

“I don’t want an apology, he can say what he wants to say. I should thank him. It was good for us.”
