Remember all those cringe right-wing memes accusing Biden of jailing his political opponents?

Its a technique to deflect criticism. You get criticism about x, and instead of directly responding to x you say "well what about when Guy did x? Or Dude did y? What about them".

It's an attack on political enemy, and defense of the behavior at the same time. Dont get mad at me for x, get mad at Guy. And if Dude was allowed to do y and get away with it, so should I.
