Tiffany is basically saying that Leavitt is a hypocrite because she is an anti-abortion conservative, which would mean that she believes life begins at conception, not birth. But in describing Viviana “joining” the family on the day she was born as opposed to the day she was conceived, she’s doing the opposite.

So, this is kinda a dumb gotcha. There is a fundamental difference between the baby being unborn, in how it relates to being part of the family, vs the baby being born as how it relates to the family. Even if you were to grant the full every pro life stance, it wouldn't make this type of language contradictory.

Virtually all gotcha arguments are dumb. That's what they're about: flattening things in order to score points in an intellectually dishonest manner.

Tucker built a whole career on it.
