I find this is a consequence of  abandoning Christian values.  There is no acknowledgement that good people can make singular bad choices and should be forgiven, especially if the one event is totally contradictory to persons values and character demonstrated  throughout their lives.  In this politically charged times, there is no forgiveness. Any slight is automatically classified as a high crime  and a person is destroyed without mercy.  The case of  the British  Nobel laureate who was banished and kicked out for making fun of women in labs also comes to my mind.
