    I can see that if people extrapolated meaning from my response that wasn’t there. I admit that I probably could have used a better example of it, like Hispanics being Trump supporters.

    But, the TLC’s implication was that the accusations were false just because she’s a veteran, and I was pointing out that the fact that being a member of a group isn’t evidence that you’re not against that group.

    Pointing out inconsistencies in someone’s refutation doesn’t legitimize the argument they’re refuting. It’s just a call for them to form a stronger rebuttal.
