These statements don't appear to be going over well.

 

I was really irritated about the headline and the way this was framed. He clearly said he was joking. It was dumb joke, but he is an 87 year old man.

I have read other responses that indicated he was slighting the mothers, but if you listened to the entire interview, there was no slight, at all. Find me a single mother with an absentee dad who doesn't wish there was a quality dad around for her children. That doesn't take anything away from the mother, at all. Raising kids is tough and doing it alone is a monumental task.

 

I think the whole thing was clumsy, but the outrage is ridiculous.
