Senator Lindsey Graham, May 3, 2021 tweet:

“The Biden Administration’s recent statements that the surge in illegal immigration is not due to their policies is insane, offensive, and just plain wrong.” [Included in the tweet was a link to a Fox News article titled, “Border surge not Biden’s fault despite lifting restrictions: White House chief of staff.” Graham also tweeted 4 replies to his original tweet, including one that said, “If you don’t understand and acknowledge that the Biden policies are what is causing the surge — there is no hope it will be fixed.”]

Dishonorable speech categories:

#11 misrepresenting reality through over-simplification (“Biden administration’s… statements that the surge in illegal immigration is [sic] not due to their policies is… wrong”), #13 offering opinion as fact (“insane, offensive, and just plain wrong”), #4 (level 1) implying incompetence (“insane”), and #12 (level 1) implying bad intent (“offensive”). In his reply to his tweet: #13 offering opinion as fact (“what is causing the surge,” “there is no hope,” and “fixed”).

Suggested more honorable version:

I don’t agree with the Biden Administration’s recent statements indicating the increase in apprehensions of undocumented immigrants isn’t due to their policies. I believe at least part of the increase is due to their policies and this should be acknowledged if it’s to be changed.
