Arabic term

خض المجلس

Arabic to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
Hi all,
I'm wondering if you can help me to translate this idiomatically into US English. It appears in a few isolated sentences in a project I am working on:
-كان شخصا جريئا فكلامه خض المجلس.
- غادر المدير القاعة بعد أن خض المجلس بكلامه

Thank you in advance for your help :)

His words came as a bolt from the blue/ His words were out of the blue

I think these two idioms are close to the Arabic idiom.
