Red Herring: The fallacy of introducing something fake to divert attention to so you can avoid the actual debate.
When Democrats hijack and derail virtually every conversation with their debunked lunatic conspiracy theories about five Russian Facebook posts changing the outcome of an election (while Democrats ACTUALLY advocate foreign influence in our elections at every turn), they are employing a red herring fallacy. Given how incessantly they use it to change the subject on such a wide variety of subjects, for so many years straight now, does this diversionary hoax constitute the greatest red herring of all time?
