I agree with you that scrutiny for public office holders is a necessary part of the process.
However, the angle of scrutiny is what is strange to me. I understand their position in that they definitely are grubby little terminally online weirdos but desperately want to escape being characterized as such and so they're looking for ways to squirm out of it...but their attempts are also weird.
