I think you're reading that into it a little. There's a distinction between serious criticism and haters. Serious criticism entails understanding that people are imperfect and complicated and criticizing some of their actions while admitting that other actions might be good or at least neutral. Haters will hate everything someone does because of who they are.
A good example of this might be politics. Let's talk about the previous President. If you think the JPCOA was a bad deal, you're skeptical of drone strikes, or you disagree with the Affordable Care Act, you might be some form of reasonable Obama critic. If you think Obama is a secret Muslim who was actually born in Kenya and that it's disgraceful and un-American for him to wear a tan suit or ask for dijon mustard on a hamburger, you're probably a hater. That sounds deranged, but there are some deranged people out there and you should ignore them.
In other words, only take criticism seriously if it's serious criticism. (I think I stole that line from mechanical_fish.)
