So, he is a highly influential figure with a massive national platform in the US, and a further reaching international platform as well. With that in mind, it's not really all that ridiculous for people - especially other politicians - to be "outraged" by what he has "just said" and the potential consequences of those opinions when they are not simply said but shouted so loudly from a world stage. This especially applies to politicians who are perceived as generally "leaning the same way". I can see exactly why they'd be angry and keen to express the fact that he does not speak for all republicans (and kin).
