Greenwald Projection Principle

Corollary of Godwin's Law; applies when, during the course of a disagreement, an individual or group is wrongfully accused of homophobia, toxic behavior, and/or anti-semitism by "journalist" Glenn Greenwald*; usually employed as an attempt to distract from any unpleasant but completely factual statements made by the accused referencing Greenwald. In all cases, Glenn's exercise of the principle means he has conceded the argument to the accused, since he is simply projecting his own flaws on to his interlocutor.

*While the GPP is primarily a personal tool of Greenwald's, it may be used by his supporters and/or sock puppet social media accounts. Women, especially BIPOC women, are the most frequent target.

Does not apply if the accusation is accurate. The GPP does not provide cover for bigots.
I simply pointed out how often he appears on Tucker Carlson's show, and Glenn immediately hit me with the Greenwald Projection Principle; I won the argument two sentences into it!
