It is most definitely overstatement. At the meeting, John Erwin expressed his incredulity at the decision making prowess of the Bandidos, but at the same time made it a point to tell Walt Dziedzic that he has been a supporter in the past, and likely will be again in the future.
On another note, since some people are offended by the overwhelming negativity of the Fabulous Four Friendlies, I'd like to offer a positive suggestion. It is never too late to say "I was wrong". I would have great respect for an official that quickly and decisively overturned their own decision in light of new information (for example: public outrage).
