i'm telling you i dont care who he is, it's fucking ridiculous that CPUSA allowed him to make a speech including that no matter what he's done. Either they didn't ask him to send in his speech before hand, in which case they are incredibly stupid (and also so incompetent as to not cut off his speech when he started going on like that), or he did send it in and they approved him saying that (or if he changed his speech, again, very very incompetent to not cut it off).

You can't even pretend like they let him say that for optics, because this is supposed to be convention for people already in the communist party that (supposedly) is advocating for revolution anyways.
