No it doesn't.

That's one interpretation of what was said that ignores a lot of what was said.

So yes, if you ONLY read the headlines, sure. So, an ignorant and stupid government would read it that way. But the reality was, like many things, more nuanced.

However, I need not blame the messenger because the current government is led by idiotic morons.

Let's put this another way: either this is valid on behalf of the government, in which case he was right ot say something. Or you disagree with this, in which case, you can only blame the government for ignornig what was actually said.
