He doesn’t ignore, but rather acknowledges many of the other things that are bad about the guy, and backs those up with linked citations too.
And, he ties it all together at the end:
There are still many in the punditry who are confused about why Christian conservatives like Johnson glommed onto Trump, a thrice-married chronic adulterer who touches the Bible like it will burn him. But, of course, it was never really about Jesus. What Trump and the men who worship him share is anger that any woman would have the right to say no: To a date, to a marriage, to having your baby. It’s why Trump has a long history of sexual assault. And it’s why men like Johnson embrace a “religion” that is hyper-focused on caging women like they’re farm animals. And why they resent gay people for their perceived sexual adventures.

That’s quite the opposite of an incel. That’s all I’m saying. If you’re going after the guy, use the right words.
Well, you are the best kind of correct, I must admit.
