The statements by Pelosi and McCarthy were equivalent. Pettiness would be pretending that a rhetorical and non-serious comment is cause to pillory someone. Hypocrisy is applying that to one comment but not the other.
Sure, they're equivalent if you strip out all context. Pelosi saying she'd punch Trump in the mouth after he fomented a literal insurrection on congress, as opposed to McCarthy talking about assaulting pelosi after regaining power in an election.
Sure, same thing if your brains mush, and you live off a steady IV drip of right-wing media and cheetos. Go outside dude.
