FYI - "Whataboutism" is rhetorical device to deflect attention from an allegation by bringing up some other issue, never responding to the original charge.
"You're a liar!"
"You ate my French fries last week. What about that?"

FYI - "Appeal to emotion"-a logical fallacy when someone attempts to win an argument by using emotionally charged language to bypass logic & spark strong emotion.
"The president incited an insurgency."
"Our nation is threatened. Let's embrace unity and freedom and forgiveness."

I could spend the entire day just identifying all of the logical fallacies on display in the Congress today.

SIGH. "Straw man"-when you attack & denounce a position that your opponent doesn't support.
"Insurgents must be held to account."
"Liberals won't be happy until all Trump supporters are in jail and their voices are never heard. They hate free speech."

"Appeal to ignorance"-using what you don't know as a major pillar of your argument.
"There could be thousands of fraudulent votes. We're not sure how deeply the malfeasance went, so it's clear the election was illegal."

This is a fallacy known as "being so absurd that you would have made Orwell laugh."

Aha! Playing fallacy cheese. Use of the "fallacy fallacy", claiming that because an argument is poorly argued or articulated, it must be wrong.
Ex - "She said the uprising happened on Wednesday. It happened on Thursday. Her argument is stupid. I vote not to impeach."
