Nobody here is defending Bill, and he's not the POTUS. Your whataboutism is gross.
I mean the comment they replied to is literally downplaying the involvement of other pedophiles just as involved as Trump was. It doesn't matter if it's using sarcasm to do it or not. That's the intention.
The entire point people should get out of this is that defending rich pedophiles (much like defending Israel) is a bipartisan issue that both parties will always agree on. Do they spin it differently. Sure. But come the fuck on.
The person doing "whataboutism" is the person that made the initial sarcastic comment. Literally bringing up other sex pests for the exact same reason their comment is making fun of. To compare the sex pests between parties and downplay their involvement by comparison.
You can't say "whataboutism" when the literal comment your replying to was responding to and criticizing a "whataboutism" in the first place.
The original comment was in the voice of Trump. It's the type of thing he would say to distract from people looking into him. It was satire, not sarcasm.
Learn context clues. You're ranting about something that wasn't even an issue.
