So you're right that I'm being charitable, but I think for good reason.

Again, he's had the opportunity to walk it back and elaborate on it and from what I understand of the book (based I think on the article you posted) he's chosen to double-down, so I'm not going to give him benefit of the doubt.

This is completely grasping at straws. There's no way you could possibly discern that from the words in the tweet, and it's pretty nonsensical and problematic given the context of what he was tweeting about.
