It's called Accusation in a Mirror and it's very intentional as part of their propaganda, going back to Joseph Goebbels:

"Accuse the other of which you're guilty."

You can see a clear example of it in the Republicans' attempt to smear Biden for the kind of nepotism and corruption that Trump did openly during his presidency.

#like their main accusation against him #is that his threat to withhold aid from Ukraine while he was VP unless they fired a corrupt pro-putin prosecutor #(something which was in-line with American and International policy)#is the same as Trump threatening to withhold aid unless Zelenskyy gives him dirt on Biden #the thing Trump got impeached for (the first time)
