The appearance is disqualifying on its own.

They're gonna get dragged for these tweets any time they fact check anything, even if their judgment is always impeccable.

They’ll get dragged for doing anything that doesn’t align with X party. If not his tweets than something else.

Yeah, but why hand them ammo. Like you say.
