Dick Harpootlian — great name! — says he just meant send her back to Lexington County. No reference to her ethnicity. (Her parents immigrated from India, and her religious heritage is Sikh.)
He has to say that, of course, but the "wherever the hell" locution makes the excuse utterly unbelievable. In a situation like this — where you've got a shred, but only a shred of deniability — is it better to deny or better to apologize?
Speaking of shreds... a Republican would be shredded if he said anything close to that about an opponent's ethnicity.
The Republican's fart is the Democrat's poot.
