To be fair, I think they actually do believe that the woman should be punished. The problem is not that he said it. It's that he said it out loud.
It would be like him saying slavery was fine and slaves were generally treated well. Deplorables all believe it, but even they know you shouldn't say it (at least right now, who the **** knows whether it will be a perfectly acceptable sentiment to espouse).
