They appear to have lost their minds. Crumbling under the pressure of being branded "losers", perhaps. I have no idea how anyone who is sane could vote for this guy.

They don't have to "apologize." They just have to acknowledge that it was what it was and move on.

Trump campaign isn’t apologizing for suggesting Reno scene was assassination attempt
By Aaron Blake November 6 at 2:15 PM

This post has been updated.

Donald Trump was quickly rushed off-stage by Secret Service at a campaign rally in Reno, Nev., on Saturday night as a scuffle erupted in the crowd directly in front of the stage and a man was led away. It wasn’t immediately clear exactly what had happened.

But amid the chaos, some top Trump surrogates seemed sure. Within minutes, two of them — Donald Trump Jr., and top social media aide Dan Scavino — passed along later-disproven claims that the GOP nominee had just survived an “assassination attempt.” And on stage at Trump's next rally in Denver, Father Andre ?Mahanna said Trump had survived "an attempt of murder."

Even as late as Sunday morning, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was playing up the idea that this was a "Democratic plant" trying to disrupt Trump's rally. And she excused Trump Jr.'s and Scavino's passing along of rumors.

Trump Jr. and Scavino both retweeted the same claim that this had been an assassination attempt.
