Good morning, We are in the midst of a deflection campaign of “whataboutism” in this country. Whataboutism seeks to diminish the ramifications of bad acts by pointing to other (often lesser) examples of similar behavior or, as often as not, drawing an equivalency to completely unrelated transgressions and/or perceived crimes. The first example is with the attempted coup orchestrated by Donald Trump and his minions, while the second is the ethical lapses of Justice Clarence Thomas.
Right On, Glenn!
