I don’t think such people are trustworthy, and are rather clownish, but not as a reaction to them being right wing. There are plenty of clowns among the left and even the centre (I suspect Galloway would resent being called a right winger still). They are united by being full of ‘rational judgement’ when it comes to allegations against who they see as their own, but will gladly call for damning of those against them.
Also, just as much some might have a ‘progressive agenda’ I think many of these people have their own agendas, which are as bad or worse than agendas like those claiming Stonehenge was built by black people. Many of them seem to have lost all sense of reason, rationality or evidence for their claims (e.g. Neil Oliver). Others may be less extreme, and many will sometimes be right, but they’re seemingly blind to the worst elements of their own. Brand has always been an idiot (in my opinion) and was worthy of critique when he was left coded. The allegations against him are causing issues for me, and several others, not because of political beliefs. I would say the same, and have, for those of any political stripe.
