"But what about...? 

When a right winger, Conservative, or
Republican attempts to avoid an issue by a weak deflection.

Example: "But what about...? these
parasitic corporations and the ultra wealthy who pay zero taxes from whom you take large campaign contributions?
You know the shadowy billionaire financial vampires who suck the wealth out of the system, keeping us all in a financially anemic state!

"But what about...? (Fill in lame deflection topic here) the people who commit fraud by going to food banks when they have resources? Those are

the ones who burden society!!
A "But what about...?" deflection can often be an outright lie, or something made up that is preposterous. The function is to get away from the point that cant be defended.

butwhatabout 

A term frequently used to deflect blame or criticism from your political party's candidates or representatives by diverting attention away and passing it to the opposition party's candidates or representatives. This tool is especially useful when it is blatantly obvious to the most casual observer that your candidate or representative is guilty as hell.

John: "Wow I can't believe that President Trump abused the power of his office by asking the president of the Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden AFTER Joe had announced his candidacy for the president of the US for 2020."

Rita: "Yeah, butwhatabout Joe Biden's son Hunter and his dealings with Burisma Holdings....?"
