I would agree in part with some posters here that we should be focused on O'Leary's here-and-now as opposed to back-then. This kerfuffle allows him to spew nonsense like intimating that it is ok to touch a woman's butt if she needs something from you. trump's victory down below suggests that there is a constituency of highly motivated voters who eat up this stuff. Then it becomes "The Politically Correct Social(ist) Justice Warrior" against the dyed-in-the-wool, hard working, salt-of-the-earth, guy-who's-just-tryin'-to-get-by guy. 

Focus on his social and economic policies.
