The article contains an appeal to authority and a fallacious statement about the Democratic party. The appeal to authority is found in the quote from Mike Johnson where he says, “I have to do my job. We have to do what we believe to be the right thing.” This is not an argument but an assertion of his own credibility as a source of information. The fallacious statement is when Marjorie Taylor Greene refers to Mike Johnson as the “Democrat speaker of the House”, using the wrong term for the Democratic party. This is a mischaracterization and an attempt to confuse readers about who holds power in this situation.
I have to do my job. We have to do what we believe to be the right thing.
