VP Vance curses out senators after heated Kennedy hearing: 'Full of s--- and everyone knows it'

This passage illustrates a heated political clash framed through hostility rather than reason. Vice President Vance and allies rely heavily on ad hominem insults and emotionally charged language that equates opposition with child harm, while dismissing opponents wholesale. Secretary Kennedy’s counterargument introduces false cause by linking long-term health trends directly to Sen. Wyden’s tenure, ignoring complexity. Both sides employ straw man distortions of each other’s positions and false dilemmas about medical policy. Overall, the exchange substitutes combative rhetoric for substantive policy analysis, producing a narrative high in bias and fallacious reasoning.
