It's not simply a whataboutism point though. You've positioned it as a function of a centrist view point or argument.
I don't disagree with the general tenor of the point to some degree (although probably wouldn't use "counter-factual politics" as the term), but this is just the human instinct to impose a rational on a public figure based on your bias.

Sort of like when Corbyn sat down with the IRA after they'd tried to assassinate our defacto head of stage, and people post rationalise it as the being of the Good Friday Agreement?
