It's a rare thing for people to have consistent mores and political standards these days.
What anyone embraces today will be what is used against themselves tomorrow. Most lack any sense of future consequences either way, though.
ETA: Also trying to justify, rationalize, and excuse - typical cognitive dissonance - it's why the constitution is little more than toilet paper today, because the judicial does the same thing. Either we stick to what it should be, or we can't bitch when it's entirely ignored and rationalized and stretched to their benefit tomorrow.
