I see the wisdom of building bridges in a a deeply divided society. And the "bad people" statement came after a litany of abuses and before another section of strong talk.
For all I know, he meant it ironically.
But I also see the wisdom of honestly addressing the nature and the motivation of the parties who have been invited to the negotiating table.
