Whataboutism is not what @andyp did there.
It is valid to point out that someone is complaining about one instance of a thing whilst not complaining about another instance of it. They are displaying hypocrisy, as @andyp pointed out.
Whataboutism is when you use a spurious, non-related criticism to imply hypocrisy where none exists - as defined in the wiki link you used in lieu of a post. e g. "It's a bit rich to moan about the undemocratic commission when you are lynching negroes at home." (Example drawn, again, from your wiki link).
