The social dynamics of the moment involved me being in the chud’s house, where his wife was so used to his chuddery that she zoned out and didn’t even notice what he just said while she was within earshot, and my TTRPG group being too stunned to do much but sit in silence for a few moments until the chud whined that “no one had a sense of humor anymore.”
I wouldn’t physically fight (not worth the trouble) but I would pull him aside and tell him he made the whole party uncomfortable. If he hits back “its a joke” line, tell him straight faced that jokes are supposed to be funny.
I didn’t return and I never brought my group back there, even if that saddened the new player. His demand was that he had to always be present during games with his daughter (his wife being there didn’t matter), so because of his petty custody battle of sorts, that meant I couldn’t run any more games for her.
Sad situation all around; I knew she enjoyed the experience and maybe the Gambo shit flew right over her head because her Halloween costume that same year when she visited my house was custom-made to resemble that session’s princess character, prop weapons and all.

Maybe I should have thrown hands. Maybe.

You made the right call, and I also feel bad for her
