Jesus' rebuke of the Pharisees where he could see into their hearts snipped.
I suppose if we could say I and the Father are one as you quoted Jesus we
could apply WWJD here. For a more applicable verse of whether or not we
should impute motives check Neh. 6. It's even in a political context.

Proverbs teaches us a gentle answer turns away wrath. We should think and
say the best of our neighbor until the facts utterly compel us
otherwise. Neither political correctness nor political incorrectness is a
substitute for Biblical ethics.
