In a short paragraph of 3-7 sentences, briefly explain ONE fallacy you have noticed in the news or real life. Feel free to find an example in the news online if you do not know one offhand. Be sure to identify what type of fallacy it is.

For example, an evangelical pastor, Minister Kevin Swanson, blamed hurricanes hitting Texas on Houston's mayor because she was pro-LGBTQ. Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh said that the hurricanes were caused by "liberal media hype to make people believe that climate change is real." Both are post-hoc fallacies, the fallacy of false-cause-and-effect.
