It's almost like the Burisma and other Hunter graft never existed. Trump's a piker by comparison. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

LOL! MAGA trots out their old favorite, Whataboutism (also called whataboutery)...
Yes, Donald Trump's a pedophile and his corruption is truly breathtaking, but Dems don't have a leg to stand on because
it was revealed that their presidential nominees son did something questionable...

Whataboutism is closely related to the tu quoque ("you too") fallacy, a subtype of the ad hominem argument.
It attempts to undermine the critic’s position by accusing them of similar or worse behavior, rather than addressing the substance of the original criticism.
This is generally considered a logical fallacy because:
1) Even if the counter-accusation is true, it does not refute or excuse the original wrongdoing.
2) It distracts from the issue at hand, often derailing productive discussion.
Users of whataboutism are attempting to avoid accountability and are unable to address the original argument.
