The point is that if you can go back far enough to find something that defines them as anything but completely perfect then we must carve them out of our group and shun them.
That's the exercise that is being thrust upon us and we are adhering to it just like the political operatives thought we would.
They do this because they know full well that we will damn ourselves for it, which we don't have any power to ensure that they hold themselves accountable, and we know damn well they will excuse their own behavior so in the end we are left eating our own and making their path to absolute power even easier.
