Sure, but to what end in this case? This is specifically about lockdowns. Leader is hypocritical about lockdowns, therefore he shouldn't behave that way? Or Leader is hypocritical about lockdowns, therefore we shouldn't have lockdowns?

Generally speaking, charges of hypocrisy can often be lazy like this. Someone pointing out hypocrisy should be clear about what behavior they are actually in favor of - the value without the hypocritical action, or, the action without the stated value?
