He argues against not paying the troops. Nobody proposed that. Then he calls it absolutely crazy. That's a straw man: arguing with a version nobody said. Source: C-SPAN Washington Journal, July 2026, Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC). Full clip, at the moment used: Clips are played at 1.2× speed. Nothing is edited within them. The question and the answer run unbroken and back to back. We're not fact-checking whether withholding funds would be wise, or what would actually happen to military pay. We look at the structure of the reasoning. Judge the argument, never the person. #ForthrightAI #logicalfallacy #strawman #criticalthinking #medialiteracy #cspan #rhetoric #argument #logic #debate bZphx0APos4 8VrVf0oioXe EOHS4C11A8s nQQn9n39SNr PZkqhF4Lj0j
