I mean it’s not really an adhom. An adhominem implies attacking a person rather than argument. This is insulting a person for their family (assuming she probably defended him) and pointing to that insult as an example of investing in society.

    Eh, to be really pedantic, ad hominem is more when you ça point how a person contradict himself in his reasoning.(The coherence of their arguments) Attacking the person itself and not their argument or how they use them is ad personam
