There is no indication in this article about what Morris actually said that was so offensive, or whether or not it was true.

The Norwegian paper Dagbladet reprinted one of the Motoons, and that’s when the fun began. “We wanted to show our opposition to it that makes a mockery of our values,” said cab driver Munir Rashad.
