He did this during a commencement speech. That makes it even worse. There's a reason why most commencement speeches stick to genetic themes like believing in yourself or doing great things or remember to give the university money or things like that, and it's to avoid whatever this was.

You’d know it’s not a joke if you’d ever been to Columbus. It’s on par with a polyamorous witch doing a commencement speech.
