Newt Gingrich is the most obvious example I can think of. They never had any problem with all his adultery and shitty behavior toward his wives. They don't even mind that he became a Catholic, even though as far as they are concerned, Catholics aren't really Christians.

It is true that Trump has achieved cult leader status. I suspect they'd let it go even if they find out he'd had gay sex. I don't think they would have let Gingrich off the hook for that.
