The things you mentioned are completely relevant and are what people should be citing about this guy. The fact that he used to pull weeds is as irrelevant as the fact that AOC used to wait tables. I don't see what's difficult at all to understand about that, or why people have any issues with this simple truth. It's not like criticizing an improper criticism of the bad guys supports the bad guys, I'm supporting legitimate criticism vs silly pettiness.
