No, but you get a pass because he was not yet convicted. that is what a conviction means -- we should not punish people before it, nor should we punish people that associate with them
It’s still bad judgement to hire someone who you are aware is being investigated for kidnapping and raping a 10 year old child when you are in a political party trying to get elected.

The people pushing hatred against trans people dress it up in nice language so useful idiots then go around saying things like "keeping a critical attitude is entirely legitimate".

There's a lot going on in this article. The introduction alone provides everything you need to know about the tone used throughout the text.
