Perhaps. So why doesn't he or his campaign just say so? If he was truly ignorant of what he was saying, then admit it! Is he not able to admit when he is wrong, or makes a mistake, or even misspeaks?
But more likely, he did know. Or at least suspected, considering the event. And he was trying to make one of those 'guy jokes' at the expense of women (har...har...nudge...nudge..wink...wink). He might not have said "Cindy take off your shirt", but saying he asked her to enter the pageant implied it.
