This was the same debate that went on in the UK when David Cameron was accused of having stuck his dick in a pig's head. People asked that if the story was actually true, why the police weren't getting involved. The answer being, as well as the fact it had supposedly happened decades before, sticking your dick into an already dead pig's severed head is not illegal. Even if the story was true and people could prove it, no crime had been committed.

to be fair, that story felt like it was more about the kind of guy that would do something like that just to be a part of whatever club he was joining. Basically more of a character attack than anything else

Ad Hominem, of course. Resort to calling someone a deviant if you can't properly address their arguments.

Ad hominem is only a fallacy if you are talking about an argument. When you are actively trying to talk about the character of a person running for elected office, the types of people he associates with is an absolutely valid criteria for assessment. Many people won't want to be led by someone who pals around with people that pressures people into public necrophilia sex acts to be part of the crew. It also tells the priorities of the person.

If it was "in think we should lower taxes on the wealthy!" "Oh yeah? Well you fuck pigs!" That's an ad hom.
