A year after the start of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson addressed his message to Congress and warned that the “gravest threats against our national peace and safety” did not come from “other governments”, but from “within our own borders”.

Wilson, a notorious racist and a supporter of the KKK who had contempt for a wide variety of other peoples, likely had German immigrants, but not just them, in mind when he called for what would become the Espionage Act so that “we may be purged of their corrupt distempers.”
“I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with,” Wilson concluded.

I think the formal term for "whataboutism" is precedent.
Considering that the US uses the common law system, precedent is kind of a big deal. It helps ensure that individuals are treated equally for the same set of circumstances regardless of what is thought about the particular individual.

You’re absolutely correct!
Disparities in the Justice system aren’t a concern now?
Equal Protection?
That's true and Woodhead was that threat and here we are still suffering from his malignant presidency.
Woody Wilson, one of my favorite SOB Presidents.
