I don't know what he means by this, but by my estimate, the residents of San Francisco are very bigoted against about half the country (where "half" is measured by the last presidential election's results).

San Francisco is, broadly speaking, permissive. It is not, however, tolerant, and there's a big difference. San Francisco goes beyond simply disagreeing with half of the nation's politics and values, and into actively promoting an understanding of that half-nation as "horrible, terrible people" (to quote from a former coworker), generally incapable of making legitimate contributions to the nation's political process.
