I've noticed trumpocytes have been using whataboutism a lot...

Yesterday I got a rightwing email about how Biden has secret docs hidden in his Vette in his garage in Delaware. Howcum he's not indicted?

Others were mentioned. Hillary, of course, and that infamous Hunter laptop

The differences are obvious, of course, to anyone doing even a cursory look at the accusations, but what got me was the willingness of the trumperverse to believe this bullshit.

Any port in a storm, I suppose.
