That's been going on for awhile now. Every time he does something embarrassing, a lot of the left actually tries to make the ridiculous claim that he's a right-winger. Because obviously if they don't want him he must be with the other guys.
The original in-depth investigative journalism on his child pornography scandal was from CounterPunch, a far left publication tending toward anarcho-communism. He actually is pretty far right of where they are, but they described him accurately as an establishment liberal of the "liberals get the bullet too" stripe.
They originally called him a right-winger, even though the guy's literally a Marxist.
I don't think he's actually a Marxist, although he agrees with Marx on some things. The fact that he's a famous academic leftist is hardly hard to find out, though, for a so-called "news" organization.
This is why people say things like "fake news." They don't even do rudimentary fact checking any more, just start screeching NAZI NAZI at whatever they see.
