What responsibility do archaeologists have when their research about prehistoric finds is appropriated to make 21st-century arguments about ethnicity?

To simply report the facts in their research!
How can they be at fault if third-parties completely pervert their findings, and add their own narratives to it?
It is editorial-style journalism, and politicians that are at fault for the radicalization of ethno-nationalists of all stripes, NOT the researchers.
