I would echo Ben's comments. I don't think much of the comment, but it would be helpful if he clarified his intent. This is only because he is a public figure on a national broadcast.
As for the 'cancel culture' comments, I'm so sick of this line. Sometimes people deserve to face the consequences of their actions, and sometimes these types of events help to start a dialogue and push us to better understand and empathize with one another.
Dismissing concerns/reactions as 'cancel culture' is the opposite side of the same coin that they apparently hate. It only serves to absent-mindedly ridicule and shut down lines of communication.
