I think Paul provided a news report of Gere's words. I actually watched most of the show including Gere's part. He was overwhelmingly and loudly boo-ed by what sounded to be the whole audience. Even louder than the much-publicized boos received by Hillary Clinton. The fact that he was met with such displeasure by the audience could be construed to indicate that they were insulted by what he said. I am amazed that he would say something to inflame such an audience. He may not have meant to, but if he is that insensitive to how they feel right now, I wonder about his reasoning. I would stand by his right to say it, but it doesn't mean others won't exercise their right to free speech, too.
