At the end of the day he did not direct any statement or off the cuff remark at anyone with learning difficulties ,he did not say "people with learning difficulties and a IQ of 60 are carrots" he was referring to average people and quite a few i know could easily be described as a carrot .It's absolutely ridiculous that such a fuss is made when people make these kind of remarks .Listen to the full interview and take in the context it was said in ,don't analyze it and try to find hidden meanings that aren't there
