Did this need clarification? When asked about Patti / Audra they said “I’ll leave it for the states to decide”. It was so clearly not a dig at all, just something silly to say  in response.

Already being “discussed” here. Not that there’s really anything to talk about. Everyone needs to chill.

Yeah, every time they've been together at Tony season events - like the lengthy Hollywood Reporter roundtable - they've been a mutual admiration society, far from adversarial. It never made sense for him to dis her publicly.

Wow! Cole Escola made a topical, absurd, tongue-in-cheek joke? I’ll be dipped.
