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)
