Does anyone know what the guy actually said, in full?

There’s an online wall of histrionics about it, but I can’t find anywhere what he actually said.

If Google won't find it, what do you think the RHP community can do?

I’ve seen comments online saying that what he said wasn’t in fact particularly offensive and others saying his comments were taken down from various sites. Even people claiming he’s been part of a cancel agenda. Anyone could have seen it, heard it…

Do you object to my asking?

Still doesn't give you the full text. I don't think it was just words either that upset the audience. Apparently he's known for bad behaviour.

Yes I’ve seen these commentaries but interestingly it’s impossible to find exactly what this awful alleged “rant” was.

Personally I think he looks drunk or high, and perhaps he does have a reputation for bad behaviour, but I still find it strange that the “rant” hasn’t been published.

I'm sure someone who was there will post it somewhere they can make money from it, but if it's as offensive as the snippets I've heard I can understand why no commercial operator wants to touch a bunch of lawsuits. You may not get your answer for a while.

Honestly, I can't be bothered. You can google too.

As I said I could find very little online, but you said you’d “heard offensive snippets”.

Perhaps in fact you haven’t.

Snippets means very little.
