Sins of the father are not sins of the (grand)son.

Of course, but this lineage should indeed encourage some scrutiny.

Especially as multiple people in his family have had fascist sympathies.

Given his ancestry wearing a black shirt for a TV interview was pretty bad judgement.

To an extent, but with caution and charity. A lot of exceptionally good people have come from bad families - one of the Borgias was a saint, for example. A lot of exceptionally nasty people seem to have perfectly nice families.

Of course sometimes people who are, for example, brought up to be racist, are racist.

You'd be surprised how often the beliefs of the father/grandfather are those of the son/grandson, not to mention how often they feel the need to avenge for the perceived injustices or slights done to their parents

Given the history of his family, one would expect them to avoid risqué associations and activities. I think it deserves some scrutiny.

Of course not, the grandson is hard at work on his own sins.

My point exactly.
