Because that's what the Left pounced on. It makes the difference between what he said as being just the wrong thing to say in trying to make his point and what he said as being indefensible.
Of course to conservatives it doesn't make a difference. We'll gladly throw someone overboard if they displease the Left. It seems that the louder they scream about something the further forward we bend over to accomodate them.

Most fickle voters don’t listen to the long version much less do nuance. It was enough to damage his chances of winning.

I don’t see that in this case. This seat can be won if we put someone electable in there soon.
The left and the media is actually keeping low key about it right now so as not to spook akin.
They will hammer him hard and long once he has no escape route. This is war and akin is too wounded for the fight.
