To their defence: Maybe they thought this was a real quote JFK actually said, and not a tweet from the 60s.

Harry's Razor:

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by misunderstanding.

The quote is often said as "stupidity" or "incompetence". Which could very well be the case here.
