This isn't too difficult.
1. To criticise leftist human rights violators would be to criticize themselves since they are both leftists.
2. If they call them out for being human rights violators, then they would have to call for regime change and there would be one fewer leftist run country in the world. By extention, if some leftists are human rights violators, maybe Americans should't allow leftists to have power in the US.
3. The US is the only country on Earth be able to accomplish this regime change. This would make the US look good by having one less country that the left can point to and say, "The US should be more like them." The left can't allow the US to look good except when a leftist is running the country.
4. One more admission that a leftist got it wrong and failed to bring about the Socialist utopia they have been dreaming about for the last 100 years. If only the right people were in charge, socialism would work.
I could go on but you get the idea.

Those "doctors" sure fought well in Angola.
LOL, his nation is fill of cars from the 1930s and 40s... now why would he not be exporting revolution any longer? Hmmm, I wonder. Could it be because the Soviet Union went belly up and he ran out of financial backing to do so? For the record, Cuba is still a focus of anti-American fomentation. Political leaders from problematic states find it important to visit with Fidel to dicuss their shared hate of the U.S.
Because their AA's got inserted backwards.
