That is a problem with clips. It doesn't tell the whole story and often an inaccurate one. Heston probably didn't mention it his speech anyways. It was part of the decision making process leading up to the convention. The membership would have already been informed about the issue before attending. They would have been warned on how to deal with the media coverage given the situation.
