first of all mr. sanders is showing how classy he is yet again by going out of his way to publicly critique and distance himself from mr. bryant
secondly, from my interpretation of the events that transpired at the mall, a cop accosted mr. bryant for the manner in which mr. bryant's associates were wearing their pants. mr. bryant reacted in what i consider to be an understandable manner, specifically by expressing disbelief that law enforcement (perhaps at the direction of mall personnel) would be taking issue with his associates' manner of dress.
and gee golly willikers, mr. bryant said "What the [expletive]."
How dare he! This is 1916 after all.
