WH Press Secretary: Elon Musk’s Personal Attacks on Dr. Fauci ‘Are Dangerous’ and ‘Disgusting’
The White House on Monday defended Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), on Monday after Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted about him over the weekend suggesting he should be prosecuted.
A personal attack would be to say Fauci is an obnoxious shrimp, a testosterone deficient pseudoman, or an ugly ____(whatever racial/sexual/religious characteristic). To criticize his decisions and actions in his professional capacity is not a personal attack. To call it a personal attack is some kind of logical fallacy. Straw man attack?
