Tu Quoque

The Fallacy

When someone tells you not to do something bad, and you say 'But you did it too!' instead of stopping.

Why it's wrong

Just because someone else did something wrong doesn't make it okay for you to do it. It's a way to distract them from your mistake.

Example

Dad told me not to eat cookies before dinner, but I saw him eat a cookie before dinner yesterday!
