That's how propaganda works. Politicians say things about their opponents that sound bad - these things don't need to be an actual big deal. If these things get repeated often enough, people will start to believe it.
Another example of this is Hillary being a liar. Sure, she has told some lies like every politician does, but not more often than Trump or anyone else. However, since Trump kept calling her a liar, a lot of people (including people who didn't even support Trump) lost their trust in her.
