they didn't seem to be trying to excuse anything he did. It sounds more like they were trying to distance themselves (and the repuke party) from those comments. A party's platform should reflect the position of their mainstream, but that doesn't mean it necessarily does.

Good for you to point out that their party's platform DOESN'T reflect what they believe, but these sound like people who already disagreed with Akin and Ryan's position.
