Unfortunately historical accuracy has very little bearing on PR.

It's entirely historically accurate, for instance, to say that a certain large US computer firm (and/or their subsidiaries) made Hollerith punch-card machines for the Third Reich. But if you want to be friends with that large computer firm, it's probably best not to mention that.

In my opinion it sounded like he's trying to get off the topics that actually matter?

A politician...surely not!
