    Right! You can cast doubt on their honesty by pointing out that they have lied before. That’s called evidence.

    However, saying they do the same thing as the other guy is not evidence of them lying. That’s whataboutism and ad hominem.

      I’m known to do something actively, constantly, and on purpose. When I accuse another person of doing that thing, its a very good reason to cast doubt on my claims and motives. That is a perfectly valid argument.
