Answer:

Straw man

Explanation:

The strawman fallacy is usually exhibited in discussions between parties with conflicting views, political debates or group discussions. When arguments or points of discourse are put forth, an opponent rather than addressing or refuting the point made, tries to misrepresent the point of view which wasn't put forth. This misrepresented opinion is called the strawman. Opponents use a strawman in arguments when they try to pull out of a strong case which has been made, by misrepresenting it with a false one which is easier to defend and defeat.
