  I’m not downplaying the severity of anything. Just its relevance. Someone can be severe and irrelevant, and I think that’s the case here.

    Your language suggests a sort of "explaining away" that is pernicious in certain cultures abroad.

  > beyond downplaying the severity of current events. He is definitely calling it "polarizing" and minimizing it. I infer that he is supportive of it then.
