It is however supposed to be politically embarrassing and should in theory hurt your party. However right now, in practice, due to the polarized two-party shit show that is US politics at the top level, it doesn't matter. The constituents haven proven to lack both will and tools to hold their elected representatives accountable, who in turn have learned they can get away with pretty much anything. What could they have done to avoid a president who would behave that way? Elect Trump? Hah.
