The term "whataboutism" is a retarded crutch for idiots who don't have arguments.

Hey that empty house is burning down!

What about the house next to it that's full of kids?

That's whataboutism, because you said the words what about!!! Behold my intellectual riposte!

No, it's when they try using past or made-up instances contrary to their opinion to try and justify current wrongdoings on behalf of who they support, or distract from goings on.

'Trump incited a riot that got capitol officers killed. I thought you were the party of -back the blue-?'

'What about her emails?!'

Literal conversation I've seen.
