      While there is a logical fallacy here I don’t think it’s a straw man.

      It’s some form of two wrongs make a right.

        Some call it a what-aboutism, although theres debate on whether its usually fallacious or not. There have been cases illustrated where using what-aboutisms is a proper logical counter, but most the time people just like to shout fallacy at each other so they dont have to think about the point they are making.
