take your pick

Whenever a Republican misdeed is called out, there are several responses available depending on the nature of the sin and the medium available:
1 “Hillary did worse things” 2 “it was Obama’s fault” 3 “Both sides do it” 4 “So what?” Collusion, schmollusion, big deal, there is no “there” there, take a deep breath and get back to work 5 “Who me?” I wasn’t even there
If you can suggest other ways to deflect the attention away from Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular, send them to whoever is in charge at the moment. That is: if you can find out who that might be.
