Wacky Whataboutism

The dumbest thing to come from the Democrats is the word "whataboutism." My husband's nephews, two raging leftists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome who never met a conservative they didn't wish dead resort to it whenever a Democrat is accused of something egregious and is called out for it. 

Today it's the fact that while Dems are still foaming at the mouth over the former president dining with rapper Kanye West and another guy who is allegedly anti-semitic, Republicans have brought up several instances when Democrats got cozy with admitted racists. Instead of saying, "Ah, you caught us, I guess lots of people have made that mistake," they cry, "That's whataboutism!" As if that makes the whole thing go away.

In response to any Republican wrongdoing when a Democrat has clearly done worse in the past, my husband avoids whataboutism by saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right." That's true, because two wrongs make two wrongs. Joe Biden really did eulogize -- i.e. praise highly in speech -- Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a former organizer and member of the KKK. That's a lot worse than ingesting food at the same table as a 24-year-old nobody who knows nothing about anything yet.
