Probably because the joke was made by someone his campaign decided to put on stage. It seems like a pretty fair twist to me. Also his campaign may have apologized, but I don't see an issue with the blame going all the way up but I do see an issue if he doesn't give the apology for his campaign himself. It's weaseling.
They're trying to have it both ways, the rasicm and fear-mongering for the base, and just kidding, it was a joke for anyone who might be offended by it
