I'm not sure I see this from your perspective; multiple people in the crowd clap after your point "C", and much more clapping is heard when he sits down.

I get defending controversial things in terms of defending Free Speech. But these skiddies want to precisely use their "Free Speech" and actions to deprive others of it.
