I don't have any examples personally, but I've been told by a lot of people that he has some views about women, race, sex, homosexuality, etc which many would find objectionable.
Edit: his Twitter is pretty much 50% programming, 50% GOP politics. He might be a bit more progressive than your average Republican, but he still expresses a strong anti-left/anti-"woke" set of beliefs.
A true man of the 70s-80s....

sigh I looked at his Twitter and it's pretty standard right-wing politics. Maybe slightly more progressive than modern right-wingers, but still vomiting GOP propaganda.
ok, I'm left, but how's that of any relevance.
if you can't put a name or even quote an allegation, maybe you shouldn't comment.
there are lots of intellectually dishonest people intentionally misrepresenting what others say in the hopes others - like yourself - parrot it just for likes and visibility.
It's not exactly news, his invitation to a conference was pulled because every other speaker refused to share a stage with him over his behavior / the politics he spews on Twitter.
