"The governor, the mayor, sanctuary politicians, not one of them said anything when their own NYPD officer was stabbed seven times in the same neighborhood just last week. They were completely silent." @SecMullinDHS

Name Calling 'Sanctuary politicians' is used as a derogatory label to discredit officials rather than address their positions.

Exaggeration/Hyperbole The absolute claim that 'not one of them said anything' overstates and is unlikely to be literally verifiable.

Well, first of all, Shannon, let me back up on this one. The governor, the mayor, all these sanctuary politicians, not one of them said anything on their own, the NYPD officer that was also stabbed seven times in this same neighborhood in the Bronx just last week. They were completely silent. They were two criminals that, by the way, all three of these criminals, Oscar, this individual, plus the two that stabbed the NYPD officer, all from the ministry. The two that stabbed the NYPD officer, all from the Manic Republic, all had extensive criminal records, all should have been deported, all of them we had detainers on, and asked them to be sent over to us instead of released back on the streets. And when an NYPD officer got stabbed, no one did a press conference, no one was outside protesting, no one said a word. And then when Oscar, an individual that had evaded us last month, has an extensive criminal background, let me just read it, has four charges for felony robbery, two charges for assault, felony larceny, misdemeanor assault, weapons possession larceny, possession with stolen property, and two felony charges for drugs plus a strong gang affiliation that he may have direct or indirect knowledge of a CBP officer that was shot last year. They're out there protesting for this guy and he's only been in the country for three years and he has this extensive background and they were all three released by the Biden administration. It's absolutely hypocrisy and ridiculous that they're out here trying to make something. big about this.

Loaded Language Emotionally charged words chosen to trigger a reaction rather than convey facts. Flagged: “all three of these criminals”.

Name Calling Labels officials as 'sanctuary politicians' to discredit them rather than address their arguments.

Exaggeration/Hyperbole Absolute claim that officials were 'completely silent' overstates what is known.

Appeal to Fear Lists a long criminal record and gang ties, implying a link to a shot officer, to stoke fear of danger. Flagged: “a strong gang affiliation that he may have direct or indirect knowledge of a CBP officer that was shot last year”.

Scapegoating Ties the problem to an immigrant's short time in the country and blames the opposing administration and protesters. Flagged: “he's only been in the country for three years”.
