For my job, I used to have to pay attention to what politicians around the world said. A lot of times, politicians are deliberately mistranslated.

For instance, Iranian politicians are routinely mistranslated in the US in order to make their statements sound way more inflammatory than they are.

All to say that this guy might not have used as strong a word as "disgusted" and it's just good ol' CNTrans trying to manufacture outrage.
