"WhatAboutIsm" is a form of Gaslighting and Arguing towards the person or party calling you out on something bad that you've done by deflecting blame and [responsibility] for your actions and consequences - legal, criminal, moral, ethical, etc. - onto the other party. "WhatAboutIsm" is a tactic where a person responds to an argument or attack by [changing the subject] to focus on someone else’s misconduct, implying that all criticism is invalid because no one is completely blameless. "WhatAboutIsm" is to say "what about you and what you did?" versus what I did. An example is the ludicrous and crazy Legal and Public Relations strategy of President Trump's Republican lawyers at Trump's 2nd impeachment trial to deflect, to confuse and to distract the American public and Republican Senators from President Trump's crime of inciting insurrection and violence by a mob of his MAGA followers to attack the US Capitol, the police and Congress on January 6, 2021 to block the vote formalizing the [Presidential] victory of the winner. Joe Biden. This attack left 7 people dead including many police officers who fought the rioters.
