To me "whataboutism" is simply pointing out the other side doing the exact same thing. Pretty much people on both sides agree that it is bad when a politician cheats on his wife or takes bribes even if he is on "their side".
But in this case it is a little different. In order to define Oman as an anti-Semite first it has to be proven that her comments are clearly anti-Semitic with no other possible meaning. So pointing out that the other side has done the exact same thing in this case is not about saying both sides are anti-Semitic. Instead it is about proving that her comments were not anti-Semitic in the first place.
Since no one has condemned the comments of these Republicans as being anti-Semitic then that proves that Oman's comments were not anti-Semitic either.
