hypocrite
This term carries a strong negative charge, focusing on the gap between a person's public claims of morality and their private actions. It suggests a deliberate deception or a failure of integrity, often evoking feelings of resentment or contempt in the observer.
While similar to a liar, a hypocrite specifically claims a standard of virtue that they themselves violate. The word is frequently used in political, religious, or moral arguments to discredit an opponent by highlighting their inconsistency.
