"tu quoque," also known as the "appeal to hypocrisy." That's probably why your comment was downvoted.

- thaumasiotes 3y ago> "tu quoque," also known as the "appeal to hypocrisy." I'm not seeing how responding to "Jimmy Carter did something good" with "Jimmy Carter also did something bad" could possibly be characterized as a tu quoque, or as an appeal to hypocrisy in any more general sense. A tu quoque would involve making some kind of claim about the person being addressed ("tu"), and there is no hypocrisy involved in doing two different things.
