The President also knows that we have to stop blaming victims for these crimes. No one ever asks the person who got robbed at gunpoint in the street -- why were you there, what were you doing, what were you wearing? What did you say? Did you offend someone? We encourage people to come forward. We don't have to explain why someone took our money.
I think the "No one ever [...]" claim is literally false, and actually obviously so. So, I understand it to mean:
The President also knows that we have to stop blaming victims for these crimes. No one in their right mind ever asks the person who got robbed at gunpoint in the street -- why were you there, what were you doing, what were you wearing? What did you say? Did you offend someone? We encourage people to come forward. We don't have to explain why someone took our money.
Supposing that I am right, what is this kind of rhetoric called?
