I hate the "but (insert name) did it too" game. I despise, in fact.

But sometimes the hypocrisy is just so palpable that it is infuriating.

You cannot, as an honest person, be angry at Trump for this Comey thing, and also be OK with the whole Lynch/Comey/Clinton/Obama airplane situation.

When one side does things that don't even make headlines, and the other side does similar and is threatened with impeachment.

It's downright silly.

Whataboutism was a propaganda technique used by the Soviet Union in its dealings with the Western world during the Cold War. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[1][2] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[3] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.
