Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of an Ad Hominem fallacy, which occurs when an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than addressing the substance of the argument itself. In this case, the speaker dismisses the person's word by attacking their character (labeling them a "psychopathic killer") instead of addressing the validity of their statement.
