Yes.
I can't speak for Kodiak, but at this point I can excuse his bad personal behavior.  If we were still talking about sleeping with porn stars and stiffing contractors and playing fast and loose with tax returns, I could excuse that in the name of the overall welfare of the country, if I thought he was governing well.
The problem for me is where his bad behavior spills into statecraft, specifically w/r/t letting the state department become an arm of his campaign - as alleged in the impeachment.
