A special case of a strawman argument in which, after being criticized for being hypocritical, one intentionally mischaracterizes the criticism as being an additional layer of hypocrisy.
Person A) "It's pure hypocrisy that after being so concerned with Hillary's private emails, Republicans are shrugging after we find out Ivanka Trump has been sending official White House business emails from a private account."
Person B: "Oh, what? So you were perfectly fine with Hillary doing it, but you care all of a sudden when Ivanka does it? It's YOU who's a hypocrite."
Person A: "Don't pull that retroactive hypocrisy on me. I didn't say anything about my own approval or disapproval of either Hillary or Ivanka."

Get the Retroactive hypocrisymug. Transparent hypocrisy - like preaching temperance from a bar stool; C-SPAN (seen all those televised proceedings that were promised during the election campaigns?);
- like claiming to be a patriot while giving aid and comfort to the enemy (raising a question about whether the Supreme court decision might somehow eventually allow an imbalance in citizens rights while granting a non-citizen terrorist the full legal rights of a citizen)
- is like worrying about global warming, but not about your globetrotting airplane habit or mansion-sized electric bill

Get the transparent hypocrisymug. When a country blamed other nations for using their own state-funded vaccines to expand their political and economic influence across the world, and now it is doing the same thing, by promising to donate millions of vaccine doses to developing nations to make up for its geopolitical losses, which arose due to fake political leadership.
To counter China’s and Russia’s vaccine diplomacy in the developing world, the US has succumbed to vaccine hypocrisy, as it plans to donate half a billion Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine doses globally as a desperate attempt to resurrect its comatose leadership on the world stage.

Get the Vaccine Hypocrisymug. The Grand Hypocrisy Party (GHP) is also known as the Grand Old Party (GOP) or the Republican party also known as the Repugnicant Party. They say one thing and do another. Their stated ideology is completely intellectually inconsistent and filled with hypocrisy.
The Grand Hypocrisy Party says that they believe in small government, yet what they mean is small enough to fit into your bedroom and personal life where they insist on legislating their own narrow minded morality. They say they believe in fiscal discipline, complain about deficit spending, yet advocate tax cuts for the top 2% of the ultra wealthy and yet don't even pretend to offer a way to pay for them. They say they believe in the Constitution yet have acted to undercut the Constitutional rights of the People and advocate amending the Constitution and abolishing Amendments that guarantee people fundamental rights!

Get the Grand Hypocrisy Partymug. I mean, I've been pointing out the hypocrisy for years. I've also been pointing out the you not giving a shit about anything outside of your own solipsistic experience. So that's not new either.
Hym "The hypocrisy isn't new. I've been pointing it out for years. What IS new how Destiny is acting. Which is like me. Because I'm a better more compelling person. And I don't want you assholes gone for anything you've said. I want you to say about me what you would like to say. Get it all out there. Do it soon because if I don't get the fucking money I am not going to be alive to see what you have to say. I want you assholes gone because you suck. You suck ass you fucking bums! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Booo! "🖕

Get the Hypocrisymug. Expecting someone you've been stealing from for years to love, praise and respect you is hypocrisy since they don't owe you any of that.
He/she expected everyone to follow his/her bullshit rules after taking all their money, and expected them all to be in a mood to celebrate, what's a worse hypocrisy than that?
