bothsidesism

A noun for when a person tries to assert that both sides of a debate are equally X (reprehensible, reasonable, etc.)

Also "bothsideism" possible

A possible synonym of "equivocation"

Use of term accelerated with the Trump administration's refusal to denounce white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, preferring to compare them to their protestors.
From NYTimes Opinion Newsletter, 8/17/17

"A forwarded email from President Trump’s personal lawyer defending the president’s bothsidesism on the violence in Charlottesville wrongly equates George Washington with Robert E. Lee, The Atlantic’s Yoni Appelbaum argues. “The analogy is central to the cult of Lee, to the mythos of the Lost Cause, and to the denial of what the Confederacy actually was,” he tweeted.
