    How is it ad hominem to ask if they have read the constitution? Here’s the video at https://youtu.be/YVDJqipoohc. Watch from the 50 second mark. The question is on topic and asked as a follow up. Why would you assume the worst without even knowing the context?

    Are you . . . confidently incorrect?

      I dont want to see a 6m video just to prove or not prove a point. I said IF it was a debate and in a quick look it doesnt look like a debate just an interview

        No need to watch the whole video. Watch from the 50 second mark. Will only take 20 seconds from there.

        Even if this was a debate, how is this ad hominem? This being an interview or a debate has nothing to do with it being ad hominem, does it?

        You can interview someone and say “you are an idiot for giving that answer.” Is this fine because it’s an interview, not a debate?

          The context that I supposed was that they were debating and then he said that, atacking the people instead of the argument makes it ad hominem but I was wrong, it was not that context
