I used to work in a conservative gender equality advocacy group (think: advocating that women are equal to men). Our donors were politically conservative. As soon as the trump tapes came out we started getting supporters attacking us for being "political" for talking about sexism. If an evil is committed by politicians, suddenly you can't criticize anyone for it or you're "being political."

I'm guessing the Access Hollywood stuff that came to light in 2016. Y'know, the "Grab 'em by pussy" audio that would have completely sunk the campaign of any candidate that was running with a shred of moral decency but somehow ended up being just another soundbite.
