I repeat. The issue people have with politicians is almost always hypocrisy.
Not a crime you can go to gaol for, just a "crime" against the electorate that support you. And the danger that if you hide something that you publicly oppose, you are open to blackmail. And if people have political powers, not only is it hypocrisy, but it can divert the course of justice and lead to actual crime.

Once you are in political office, you do not have to commit a literal crime in order for your post to be untenable. A single person, an openly gay person, a person who acknowledges and supports a child born out of wedlock, a person with a sibling with a drug habit... Good luck to them all. But if you're hiding something AND denying it AND voting against issues that relate to your own persoal circumstances... that's when my pity dissolves.
