Two comments:

One: I agree with everything she's quoted as saying.

Two: She had no business saying it where she did. People paid to be entertained, and she was paid to entertain them. She willfully threw her opinion (with which I agree) in their teeth, when she had to know that she would bitterly offend a large portion of her audience and that even those who agreed with her would have their evening upset. That is an arrogant misuse of the position she was put in.
