I opened this thread knowing it would quickly turn into "whataboutism"

A president telling lies either matters or it doesn't.  Pick a side that isn't tied to which president is talking.

Personally, I think the reasoning that Trump did something so therefore we can't call out that thing in this administration is wrongheaded and dangerous.[/quote]
The people complaining about Biden said nothing when Trump lied tens of thousands of times including inciting a mob to storm the Capitol, so I can’t imagine them caring about this.[/quote]

Right, and the people who don’t care about Biden’s latest complained loudly about every time Trump lied or misspoke.  The hypocrisy goes both ways.  It is exhausting and unproductive.[/quote]
Lying about an insurrection on our democracy=misspeaking about distance traveled.
Got it.[/quote]

I didn’t say that.  There were many others instances in the four years prior to the insurrection in which Trump said things that were either outright lies or misspeaking, starting with the crowd size at his inauguration.  And each of them generated huge outcry.[/quote]
Did Biden demand a Park Service investigation into his Xi mileage claim?[/quote]

No.  What is your point?  Do you dispute that there was public outcry over each of Trump's lies, both significant and insignificant?

Trump lied about EVERYTHING. Big and small, consequential and in inconsequential. 
And you and your ilk did not care. So the same applies here.[/quote]

Exactly. Trump lied about literally everything. [/quote]

Assume that is true. Based on that Biden can lie too and it’s ok?[/quote]
