I've never really heard any concerns about Trump cancelling a meting like this, more that he would be the one doing the name calling.

That being said, this was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If he had gone after what was said then the people questioning his decision now would still question it. They would be calling him weak and submissive for going.

Don't read too much into it. This is just two conservative Republicans trying to rationalize the fact that they're forced to vote for Trump. I'd probably be just as pissed as they are if my right leaning party basically rejected conservatism over racist populism.
