This is precisely the kind of blind outrage the far right is promoting right now. And they surely know where this stuff can lead.
This man not only spoke first in English but basically asked permission to speak in another tongue, one that has been spoken here for centuries.
It's disgraceful behavior.
Yeah, disturbing is right.
Good commentary on this from Wishydig now, here.
