The comment was made in response to the Barcelona terrorist attacks and was very specifically joking about what we should do to domestic terrorist groups that mass murder. It was also not his original thought. He cited a myth regarding what he thought someone else famously did to terrorists and said maybe we should do that.
Getting upset about what he actually said and in what context seems like faux-outrage or someone with motivated reasoning to try and find something to get upset about.
It shouldn't be hard for a sharp upstanding human being not to throw out 'flippant' comment.
That actually surprised me the most. That exactly what you said, stopped to matter.
It shouldn't and we shouldn't allow it.
