Hillary and Logical Fallacies

It;'s no surprise that Hillary Clinton, like other candidates, has committed logical fallacies in debates. However, Clinton has repeatedly used logical fallacies.




Clinton will use logical fallacies to turn anything another candidates says to something bad to make herself look better. In the debate in New Hampshire, Clinton replied to Bernie Sanders' comment about his irritation with donations for political campaigns and how it will not help out the middle class families by saying, "There is this attack that he is putting forth, which really comes down to, anybody who ever took donations or speaking fees from any interest group has to be bought."




This is a straw-man fallacy because instead of Clinton responding to Sander's argument, she replies with a misinterpreted version of his argument. Sanders is stating that a lot of money controls the political process and that there will be no change for middle class families because of this. Hillary twists his argument by using this logical fallacy.

As you continue watching and following candidates, don't fall for their logical fallacies. In the mean time, enjoy this Bad Lip Reading of Hillary and Bernie's debate.
