Ilhan Omar vs. systems of oppression: anti-American?

[lpetrich]

Ilhan Omar:

As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit, without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality. So we cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.

Which got this response from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-CA:
Kevin McCarthy on Twitter: "Yesterday Basement Biden said he wants to "transform" America. Today a House Democrat said she wants to "dismantle" our entire system.
The Democrat Party has given up on America. All they want to do is tear it down. (link)" / Twitter

MURRAY on Twitter: "@GOPLeader "The Democrat Party has given up on America"
Says the Republican Leader who has sat by for nearly 4 years knowing that Trump has repeatedly placed the interests of Putin/Russia ahead of those of the USA. The GOP is in no position to question anyone's allegiance to this nation." / Twitter

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Yes @GOPLeader, @IlhanMN has long been on the side of dismantling systems of oppression & structural racism, as she stated.
It‘s revealing that *YOU* equated “oppression” w/ “our entire system” as you intentionally took a Black Congresswoman’s words out of context to target her." / Twitter

Cut His Mike - The Return on Twitter: "@AOC @GOPLeader @IlhanMN Just here for the “I’m Not Racist, But Attacking White Supremacism Is Attacking America” reply guys " / Twitter

Jamaal Bowman on Twitter: "Like @IlhanMN, I support “dismantling the whole system of oppression."
Why is the GOP and FOX News so outraged?
Because they want Americans to hate Black women, Muslims, and refugees more than the people in power benefitting from a system that causes the majority to suffer." / Twitter

Ayanna Pressley on Twitter: "Sounds like @GOPLeader went on the record tonight that he’s opposed to dismantling systems of oppression.
Shocker.
Stick with your dog whistles and xenophobia. @IlhanMN & I will be over here working on actual racial justice policy.

Ilhan Omar on Twitter: "“As long as our economic and political systems prioritize profit, without considering who is profiting and who is being shut out, we will perpetuate inequality.”
It is telling that a black woman discussing systematic oppression is so triggering to the right. (link)" / Twitter

A lengthier clip from IO:
The Hill on Twitter: "Rep. @IlhanMN: "When America gets a cold, Black Americans get pneumonia." (link)" / Twitter

What's the name of this fallacy? Is there one for it yet? Poisoning the well, red herring...not quite sure which is more appropriate.

Tu Quoque (Your another!) - the appeal to hypocrisy, is an informal fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent's argument by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion
