This whole kerfuffle is a giant blue on blue own goal.

I know what a kerfuffle is.......but what the heck is a “blue on blue own goal?”
Is it something like whopperjaw or cattywampus? Help me out here.

blue on blue: as in blue states/counties/constituencies dupes attacking each other. AKA the left eating its own, to mix in yet another metaphor.

own goal: “(in soccer) a goal scored inadvertently when the ball is struck into the goal by a player on the defensive team.”
