> But they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop. They’re not. This is a movement. I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop, and everyone, beware. Because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before election day in November, and they are not going to stop after election day. And everyone should take note of that on both levels. That they’re not going to let up. And they should not, and we should not.

Whataboutism is perhaps the most ignorant defense used by Trump supporters.

This is not a defense of anything. That's something you projected onto the comment on your own.

The comment is simply pointing out the hypocrisy and double standard that pervades this discussion.

If pointing this out makes you angry, that's not an issue with the comment, but an issue with your ability to handle information that undermines your constructed narrative.

The irony of a Trump supporter claiming projection and hypocrisy. These are literally the founding principles of Trumpism.

And yes, your comment was clear example of whataboutism.
