mekkaokereke, (edited ) If a terrible person says something correct or true, you don't have to say "[Terrible person] was right about [X]." I mean, you can say it, but you don't have to.
The terrible person is rarely the originator of whatever it is that they said that was correct. Saying that they were right about [X] is often an attempt to give them credit for something positive. It comes from a place of wanting them to be more accepted by the public.
We should explore why the speaker wants them to be more accepted
