Nit-politicking

The practice of latching onto a small and non-political action by a political figure, amplifying it and attempting to make it into something wrong, or something that it is not, in order to tip the political scales in one's favor. Using insignificant and irrelevant details dishonestly to further a cause.
Disparaging Obama's tan suit or Biden's struggle with stuttering is nit-politicking at its worst.
