It preemptively addresses the common right-wing/republican retort of there also being democrats who do Bad Things.
They expect democrats and those supporting them to also "circle the wagons" and protect their own. They seem continually surprised when that doesn't happen, but the exchange wastes time and adds to the gish gallop that overall benefits them.
